[quote=Anonymous]1. Bought a 625K house in Bethesda in 2010 on an 80K HHI. We lived extremely frugally to save for a downpayment for the 10 years before that and received loans from our parents to meet a 40% downpayment. This put us in bounds for a cluster that is reputed for its care of special needs kids (and DS was place in the neighboring cluster after that, in a special program). We never had to fight for the IEP in Kindergarten, or any additional service or accommodation in all his years in MCPS. 2. I was forced to quit my job to care for our oldest, born with special needs. Since it was at a critical time in my career, I can't go back to work in that field or associated fields. However this also eliminated daycare, aftercare and camp costs for our children. We were able to have other kids thanks to this set-up. [/quote]
