[quote=Anonymous]The issue isn't so much what are the special ed schools but which ones will accept a student whose fees are paid by FCPS.  We looked into it - going so far as to having the FCPS staff responsible for private placement come to our IEP meeting.  Our advocate said it was a long shot but worth an attempt.  Our advocate had several school she recommended for our DS but indicated the schools wouldn't accept DS through the FCPS program because of issues with certifications and fee payments.  It was a hassle for the school and they had sufficient enrollment they didn't 'need' FCPS.

I don't mean to be discouraging but that particular IEP meeting was one of the worst we've had (and we've had a lot).  What I came away with was that FCPS believes they can meet the needs of all but those with severe ED.  They refused to accept my DS's needs were not being met and he needed far more support than they were providing or offering.  I know you said you can't afford an advocate but unless your DC has a severe, severe issues, I wouldn't hold much hope for getting FCPS to do a private placement.  You also might think about what you could do to afford an advocate.  (Sorry,  I know this sounds really negative).[/quote]
