[quote=dcgrl15][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all depends. Are you talking Infants and Tods, PEP or MCPS?  Staffing changes every year.  We live in Bethesda now and moved here from the eastern part of the county for other reasons but I routinely hear people say that there are better services in the western part of the county and that's why they moved or want to.  I don't agree.  I thought there were more services in the eastern part of the county in part because there are a lot more people needing them.  In Bethesda I feel very weird as the parent of a kid with an educational disability.  I don't think you can pick a school ahead of time.  Reputation is not everything.  People change jobs.  Placements change and so do kids.  Other than Bethesda ES, which I don't have any experience with but is highly reputed, [b]I think you should make yourself happy with your house first[/b].[/quote]

I have to agree with this.  I've struggled for years in MCPS to just get my kid basic services for ST and OT despite having gone through PEP, already having an IEP, and presenting the many independent evaluations we'd done.

Find a house, then find an advocate.  I wish I had done this b/c it probably would have saved me and my kid a lot of time not to mention aggravation.[/quote]
Thanks. Im starting to realize you are right. Ive been trying to coordinate finding a house with making sure its zoned for schools that would be a good fit, but I dont think its that easy to control all the moving parts![/quote]
