[quote=Anonymous]We have a similar situation and are pulling our child out of FCPS and placing in a specialized private school. He was going to be in self-contained classrooms for all of his required classes and the IEP team at his elementary school wanted to pull both electives and place him in the literacy class and the executive function class. After speaking with our advocate and talking with our son, we decided the best way for him to really thrive is to pull out of FCPS and go private. For those who cannot do that, I would consider the placements your team is suggesting. In middle school the class sizes are much larger - we were told 30-36 students per class - and their special ed focused on literacy is in that elective. At least that is what we were told. We just did not like the structure, especially when combined with the fact that the kids at his current school are actively picking on him for being a "SPED" and really making his life hard. Middle school is hard enough and when you add the special ed focus in self-contained classes and loss of electives, we were fairly displeased with the set up. [/quote]
