[quote=Anonymous]No. The vast majority of families whose kids have IEPs do not hire anyone. My son is a senior in MCPS. He had an IEP from K-11th and then a 504 for this year. We never had to fight for any service or accommodation. 3 reasons: 1. His needs are obvious, and made more so by well written neurospychological reports from the reputable psychology group Stixrud, whose psychologists know how to write in MCPS-speak. 2. We asked for entirely reasonable accommodations, never for something outlandish. 3. We carefully targeted which MCPS schools: moved inbounds for Bethesda ES at first, then requested special placement in a program in the neighboring cluster for middle and high school. [/quote]
