[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what you mean by mid-level, but Bethesda Elementary in MCPS has a reputation for doing fantastic inclusion.  I know a couple of families with kids with milder issues who are fully included, and whose parents are really happy.  They also have a School Community Based classroom (program for kids with Moderate to Profound ID, possibly with other issues) for kids who need more support but still benefit from inclusion.

For private, many, although not all, of the kids at Ivymount have ID, but it's crazy expensive and there is no inclusion component.[/quote]

Thank you for your post.  I am not sure that my child could handle full inclusion.  By mid-level I actually mean her skills are low and I am not sure how much real "curriculum" she could handle, but that she does not belong in a profound ID program either.

Yes, I think Private would be too expensive.

Thanks for your feedback.[/quote]

I'm the PP on the top of this quote.

I should be clear that I know Bethesda has full inclusion.  The kids I know who are in that program are doing academic curriculum, but not at the same pace or level as their assigned classes.  That is, they might be in 3rd grade working on single digit addition and subtraction, or 5th grade working on basic reading.   Those are just the kids I happen to know, and I am sure there are kids at other levels, both higher and lower.  I also happen to know a little bit about the School Community Based Program, because of another friend.  However, it's likely they have a continuum of support, with kids spending their day split between settings, that might be appropriate for your child.  I would definitely check them out.  [/quote]
