[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD will be entering K next year. She does not need special Ed, but has issues that the doctor recommended small class sizes. There are other modifications as she has a physical disability related to mobility.

We have paperwork and recommendations for 504. I’ve heard bad things about the process for getting a 504 in MCPS. The idea of having to fight it out is stressful.

Our home school is over crowded and chaotic. If possible, we’d like to Cosa to a neighboring school that is under capacity.

Where do you start? Is MCPS good with these things, or will we have to fight for placement?[/quote]
It's easy to get a 504 with a documented medical issue. I would start right now with your home elementary school and ask for a review for entering K. Get the 504 in place first, before you try changing schools. However, why are you so sure your home ES cannot meet your DD's needs? I would give K a try at the home school, and then if it isn't working out, apply for the COSA for 1st grade. You will have actual data of a problem, rather than a "wish". Depending on your daughter's actual needs, it is possible that the school recommends shifting from the 504 to an IEP. That would give the team more options to recommend specific program placement.[/quote]
