[quote=Anonymous]I don't know a lot about Medicaid.  My understanding is that waitlists are organized by categories, and you'd need to find out about waitlists for her specific category.

I can tell you, as a special educator, who has had opportunities to visit and coordinate with many of the schools in the area, that both Montgomery County and Fairfax County (and possibly several other counties, I just only have experience with MCPS and FCPS) have better options that St. Coletta's.  MCPS and FCPS both have well established programs with various models, ranging from self contained schools, to special classes within public schools, to partial and full inclusion schedules where some or all services are delivered in the general ed classroom.  St. C's has no such array of options.  In addition, St. C's is chaotic with a very high staff turnover.  It also doesn't follow best practices for literacy instruction.  In addition, St. C's has a wait list and admits by lottery.  It's quite possible that you would have a gap in time between when you move and your daughter is admitted.

Good luck, and welcome to DC!  I hope you find exactly the situation that works for you and your daughter.  [/quote]
