[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call the MCPS autism office. Tell them you have already rented in the district or purchased a house and tell them about your child and the supports he receives. With aggression and elopement, I think you'll get the Asperger's placement without a fight. This program has the ability gradually mainstream as your child grows in his skills or if your child still needs the support there are MS and HS programs. There's a group called XMinds and there are families who have children in all levels of the Asperger's programs and can advise you.

We know a family who had a child who was in the elementary program who is highly gifted and they did very well. I hope your child will also have a great experience.[/quote]

Thank you. Our DCPS has told us that the options in DC would be either a BES classroom (which we do not want to put our child in) or CES (which would be with children much more cognitively affected than he is). We haven’t yet purchased or rented a home in Montgomery County though - so wouldn’t be telling the truth if we said that to MCPS. We do have a ton of documentation from DCPS about his elopements and aggression. I sort of feel if we could get that under control he could transfer back into mainstream. Thank you for the XMinds recommendation- I will look them up.[/quote]
