[quote=Anonymous]I don't know anything about MV, but my child with an IEP attended Bridges for four years before we left and enrolled in local DCPS. I would not send a child with anything but mild special needs or few IEP hours to Bridges. They once were stellar, but staff turnover, rapid expansion (including kids with IEPs) and new leadership has, in my opinion, negatively affected the quality of the education. There were many reasons we left, but the final straw came for us after we had her tested independently and realized she was no where near the academic levels that the school reported her to be at throughout the year, and, in fact, was so far behind that we decided to repeat the year.

I know the choices are slim for kids with IEPs and there are certainly good things about the school, particularly the culture in which NT kids see and interact with kids with disabilities regularly and the friendliness/caring of the staff. My only advice if you decide on Bridges is to bail early if you find that they can't/won't deliver on their promises, because in my experience it won't get better. [/quote]
