Oh yes, a child with learning delays and an IEP is a very desirable club to be in. 🙄[/quote]

There is absolutely a trend among upper middle class parents to get their kids extra time and ADHD meds.

It’s definitely a trend that MCPS ignores students with ADHD and it takes private evaluations for an IEP. In MCPS, only students with parents who can afford the private testing will be accommodated and receive special education services. The services are important to teach organizational skills and strategy to cope with executive functioning difficulties. These problems start in elementary school but have a greater impact as a child progresses through middle school and high school.[/quote]

Even then an IEP is just words on paper.  We paid for private testing but they never gave child much but uneducated first generation paraeducator.  Lady could barely string a sentence in English together.  Utterly a lost year before we went private - then simply moved.  We’ve noticed MCPS now pays for testing to look good to the Feds but then doesn’t do anything further in good faith.  Supreme Court decision said just not de minimus so kid can just languish.  MCPS just wants fed money so they can redirect funds anyways.[/quote]
