[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My severely ADHD, mildly autistic son did very well with an IEP in the MCPS GT/LD program at North Bethesda MS and Walter Johnsons HS. They cater to kids with that profile who are on grade level or above grade level, and allow them full access to the schools' advanced courses, but with a resource class in the place of one of their electives, and a case manager who oversees their progress. It worked really well for my son!

Please call Central Office of MCPS to inquire about this program. It's probably changed a bit since my son was in it. At the time they needed an IEP plus evidence that the GAI portion of his WISC (IQ) test was above a certain threshold.

It's also important to note that this MCPS cluster is one of the best in Montgomery County, and encompasses some really nice (expensive!) neighborhoods on the red line. If you move to VA or MD, your kid will also be eligible for in-state tuition at their respective state colleges, which to most people is highly desirable, given the cost of college these days. If you stay in DC, TAG only offers you 10K off tuition (and I believe St Mary's College considers DC students as in-state, but I'm not sure).
