[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid with an IEP is in 8th grade at Tilden. We are not in-boundary. Everything has gone pretty well and the teachers seem very competent in dealing with accommodations and IEP needs.

I've read not-so-great things about Tilden on this forum but that hasn't been our experience at all.[/quote]

This is great to hear! Is your child in a resource class?[/quote]

Yes, and they also had a second special ed class (I do not recall the exact course title) that focused on social-emotional goals, and the SLP plugged in for speech services too.  They did not take that class this year for 8th grade (though it was offered for all grades) because they exited speech and the team recommended trying an elective instead.

One thing I noticed for all three years is several of DC's "gen ed" classes have been co-taught with a special educator. So while that subject might not be one where DC needed additional academic support, the adults in the room were well-versed in accommodations and IEP implementation. Does your son have an IEP or 504 plan? He would not be eligible for a resource class without an IEP, I don't think.

The negative things I've heard here about Tilden have mainly to do with bullying, especially among girls. But again, that has not been our experience at all.[/quote]

Sounds like your child is in the autism support program. Kids in that program are not necessarily GT, just lower needs ASD. [/quote]

And? My kid has an IEP and I'm sharing my experience with support and resources classes. I've never said they were GT/LD. The OP said their child is.[/quote]
