[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is well above grade level and needed more behavioral/emotional support than yours was in the Asperger's program.  They did fine with her.  They do offer a lot of individualized instruction, so I don't see why they would have a problem with your kid.

Laura Solomon is the advocate who got the placement for us.  She is EXTREMELY aggressive and MCPS knows her all too well.  In fact, you might get the placement just by threatening to hire her. :lol[/quote]

Imagine what happens to the quality of the program if many students who are poor candidates are admitted because their parents threaten to hire an extremely aggressive advocate or attorney? [b]How does that turn out for the students who are perfect candidates? [/b]Will they be properly served if staff is overwhelmed try to meet the needs of students who don't fit the profile the program is intended to serve?[/quote]

I know because why would Special ed students need any help with anything? Everyone knows that the best special ed kids are the ones who have no issues at all.  The best special ed programs should be reserved for the perfect kids! [/quote]

You have 0 experience with the Asperger’s programs if you think the perfect candidates need no help at all. There’s intense work on social skills and work study habits. They need support with navigating the changes in routine and productive chaos of a gen ed classroom much of the day. [i]Shame on you[/i] for dismissing the hard work and successes of those kids because they don’t fit the same learning profile as your DC.[/quote]
