[quote=Anonymous]Recently left an IEP meeting for my DD who is entering 1st grade at a catholic school in DC. Her need for support services her reaffirmed, and she is - to my relief - scheduled to receive increased therapy hours this coming school year. My DH and I have been shuttling her to and from a DCPS school where the therapy is provided weekly. We are thinking, all is good -right?
But no. As it turns out OSSE is planning to revoke ALL therapies for kids in private schools. Apparently, the archdiocese entered a complaint with OSSE stating that therapies should be provided inside their schools, instead of making parents do the DCPS shuttle. This is how services are provided in MoCo. So, OSSE thinks about it, and decided that no - they are just going to quit providing direct services all together. Instead they will send therapist to the private school to offer 20 hours of coaching to teachers. Nothing for students. Regardless of the fact that we are paying the taxes that support these services. 
This was news to me. Want to make sure that others are aware. If this is not news to you, and you know how to share comments / complaints with OSSE please advise.[/quote]
