[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Home School Model is going to replace all LAD programs. I'm not sure of the timeline. But eventually, MCPS wants all kids who would have been placed in LAD to be educated in their home school.

Thanks to all the PPs. The teacher's perspective is so helpful. It is what I imagined to be true for the most part. The teacher wants to be helpful, but with 25-28 kids in a class, what can s/he really do for a child with 20+ hours on an IEP? I'm really sad about this situation, but every time I bring this up with MCPS, they always say that a gen ed teacher can deliver the supports with some additional pull-pit/push-in time.

When are we going to be able to call them out on this obvious lie? I'm not blaming the teacher at all. I am very sympathetic to their situation. [/quote]

If you go to a title 1 or focus school, there will be much smaller class sizes.  No child is getting the amount of support that the IEP's say in less they have a 1-1 paraprofessional.  My child is the one with the multiple teachers/staff and I don't get the impression outside of the therapy sessions that there is any more support provided looking at the work that gets sent home.  If your child is very severe, the focus goes on them to deal with the behaviors or help catch-up.  If your child is on the mild side/doing ok, then don't expect much.  Either way, plan to get therapy outside school and supplement at home.[/quote]
