[quote=Anonymous]The EMT meeting in MCPS is not part of a formal, legally mandated process but just a scary name for a meeting where they get multiple people at the school together to brainstorm how to help a child. It might include the math specialist if there is one and the issues are social/behavioral, which I know your child's aren't, it might also include the counselor. It does not mean a child has a suspected disability. In fact, IME, if a child has a suspected disability the school would suggest you go the 504 or IEP route instead of the EMT route. It's just a meeting, nothing more, but after discussing what's going on more thoroughly with the teacher another staff member may see red flags for an LD which might make them make new recommendations or might prompt you to seek a private evaluation.
