[quote=Anonymous]My child is currently in private school.  We think each year about moving her to Bethesda (we are in boundary).  Our fear has been she uses a walker and the classes are huge and the school is huge.  We are afraid of the shuffling between classes and the recess period.  For any parents there with SN kids that use walkers and still need a lot of help getting in them and out of them (or have seen kids at the school), how do you think it goes?  I'm afraid that she will have multiple aides during the day (that's what Forest Knolls had told us that she wouldn't have one person assigned and that she would be fine sharing an aide with other kids), that recess will be a disaster, and that she might lose self confidence and get lost in the crowd.  She is cognitively fine but impaired speech too.  Starting first grade.  Paying for tuition and a one on one aide is a lot.   I know that the school openly supports kids but my kid needs a lot of help. Had a brain injury in preschool.   Any thoughts welcome![/quote]
