[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you, OP. Our 2e kid fell apart in middle school and it was like watching a train coming down the tracks and not being able to move him off of the tracks.

Been there, done that, pulled my hair out. All I can say is document, document, document.

I had a school counselor tell me to "let him fail" because otherwise he would get no help. (By the way, this is illegal, but so it goes in MCPS...)  So as soon as I saw the Ds from missed assignments on Edline, I grabbed them, recorded them and started the process of saying he was failing and needed help (even though his IQ is off the charts and he can ace a test cold).  There is nothing else you can do to fight MCPS. They believe that if they didn't have this access to services gate up, they would be deluged with all kids being classified with SN for IEP/504.

The best advice I can give you is to do all you can at home to support your kid, and to get in touch with Marisa (?) of the 2e program in MCPS.  You might also want to apply in to the special middle school program for 2e kids.  It is so frustrating that MCPS KNOWS so much about 2e - is considered world-class - yet the knowledge does not reach the typical classroom teacher.

Would you mind sharing what accommodations the doctor recommended for your 2e child?  I am still pulling my hair out and wondering if there is something else we should be doing.  [/quote]
