[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moco has prek programs that provide speech services (PEP).  If your child has an IEP already, I would say that she is almost certain to be eligible for PEP.

I would get in touch with PEP now.

Just be aware that the language is different in MCPS--"Pre-K" is income-based pre-K for eligible four-year-olds.  PEP is special education (which includes speech) for 3- and 4-year-olds.  Knowing this will make navigating the web site and offices much easier.  Highly recommend PEP (I used to teach it!)  It is housed in many schools across the county and if your home school does not offer what your child qualifies for, transportation will be provided.  Your child may also be eligible for speech services even if you choose not to enroll in PEP, but I doubt private preschool tuition will be paid, since PEP is offered for free.  Oh, and the IEP travels with your child.  You will have a meeting with the school's PEP team and service providers when your child is enrolled to review and update it (if necessary), but no worries about the IEP going away.

I would check out the Special Needs forum if you have more questions. [/quote]
