[quote=Anonymous]My sister's husband is in the military and they had to move to Texas from Maryland because of his job.  They are liking the change in the school systems.  Texas quickly identified her youngest as not being on grade level where Maryland considered him to be meeting state standards.  In Texas, this prompted immediate intervention and services she had been fighting for a long time in Maryland.  He made so much progress that first year that they are trying to stay in Texas as long as possible.  They usually have to move every 2-3 years.

She has another son with ASD and in Maryland, bullying was a big issue.  She actually worried about his safety when he went to school because he had been beat up walking home from the bus stop by a group of students.  The Maryland school did nothing since it happed off of school property.  In Texas, bullying is not tolerated in anyway, shape or form.  Her son with ASD handled the transition to a new school better than expected.  Kids accepted him with his quirks and he is treated with respect just like a regular student.[/quote]
