[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 3 yo with what appear to be mild special needs and are zoned for Oakland Terrace ES in MCPS. I have seen some posts on DCUM complaining that IEP kids at this school were segregated from other children into.the same class. We do not have an IEP yet (have requested Child Find screening) but am paranoid if she gets one, this model will not work for her for a few reasons. I thought kids with IEPs should be integrated, not segregated. [/quote]

Typically, students with IEPs are not segregated but they are placed into one class mixed with students who do not have IEPs. Placing students with IEPs in one class, with other students who do not have IEPs, is not segregation by any definition of the word. Putting students with IEPs in one class makes it easier to provide them with the support they are entitled to. It makes it easier to schedule pull out support, and easier to do push in support and typically results in your student getting more support and access to the sped teacher because she is frequently in the one class instead of constantly needing to go from class to class. What is your problem here, that your child may be in a class with other students who are similar to them? You don't want your child in a class with other students who need IEPs? You feel like your child should [i]only[/i] be educated with students who don't need IEPs?[/quote]
