[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When our AuDHD/PDA/GAD DS was 8, he was in 2nd grade when the pandemic started.  He "did" virtual school for 12 months by logging on to his laptop during class and wandering off.  He basically read books (aka "unschooled") for the entire time.

When students went back into the building, he was ready.  We didn't plan on giving him a 12-month break from school but it hit right at the perfect time for him, when he was growing increasingly anxious and unable to leave the house.  If your DC is unable to attend any school, he may have to homeschool for a time - but it doesn't have to be permanent.  He may need a reset and then may be able to return to school, in our case mainstream school.[/quote]

OP here. As someone who does not want to be responsible for homeschooling, I was hoping there might be an MCPS equivalent. But if that’s the only option I may have to reconsider my preferences and fears.[/quote]

Gently, the fact that they referred you out to Ivymount, etc. means that they do not have any in-house programs they feel can serve him. If they did, they would have tried those before consenting to non-public placement. Now that he has not been accepted by the schools they referred to, they should call you in again to discuss what next steps to take. [/quote]
