[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, you can't go wrong with Bethesda schools, but I hope someone will be able to give you more information about good experiences with IEP support.[/quote]

Sure you can. Many of them will fight you tooth and nail for a 504 never mind an IEP. This is with a diagnosis and with a clear educational impact. There are several principals who do not want "those" types of kids at their schools because they are too much work and bring down test scores. They will say all the right things about wanting to be inclusive to the community but behind the scenes they will do everything they can do make life difficult for you and your child so that you will be forced to go to private. We know many families with SN children who have fled Bethesda schools for private and many others who have had to spend thousands on advocates and lawyers. I was just talking to a friend who went to see a principal about her SN child as she was considering purchasing in one district and the principal encouraged her to go elsewhere. This child does not have severe needs. If you can provide an email address OP people can email you directly and be more open.

You're right to look at Bethesda and I would also consider Burning Tree. [/quote]

As someone with a kid with autism who was in one of the Learning Center classrooms at Burning Tree last year, I would not consider Burning Tree.[/quote]
