[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It truly depends on your child’s needs. MCPS is huge and has a lot of options. However, the downside is that if your child doesn’t fit into one of their programs, they will still stick them there and just try their best. In addition, it is very impersonal- the people making the placement decisions have often never met your child. In a smaller district, it is probably more personal but they won’t have the same options.[/quote] Thanks for the input. DS has mild to moderate ASD and ADHD. We are trying to decide if MCPS is the right place or not. Would NoVa or Howard county be better? We also have our eyes on Boston suburb (Lexington, Newton, etc) or NY/NJ (Westchester, Short Hills, etc). [/quote] I am a graduate of Lexington public schools. They have tons of experience with SN. They were doing inclusion when I was in ES in the 1970's. They come highly recommended in the present too. [/quote]
