[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re expecting parents to be reflexively critical of their school’s accommodations and services, think again.

My son has had an IEP for 11 years in MCPS (elementary to high school) and overall we’re very happy with how he’s been treated.[/quote]

I think, though, that you would generally see a sampling bias.  The people most likely to post are the ones most likely to be dissatisfied.  I'm sure there are many who are reasonably happy, but those folks are probably way less likely to post.[/quote]

True. Which is usually what we see on this board. But some of us have been doing this for a long time and we have a bit of perspective - we know that glitches are to be expected, some years the case counselor won’t be up to scratch (one year ours was pregnant and pretty out of it, poor thing), some teachers will need regular reminders to implement the IEP… 
…and some others faced with oppositional teams only made it work when they brought in the big guns.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Be prepared.[/quote]
