[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has been, on balance, fantastic.  You have picked a GREAT county for your child.  There are always some bumps in the road, but everyone on my child's team has his best interests at heart.   I do a lot of "educating" of the team but so far we have always ended up in agreement and with a plan.

I would call the middle school (once you know where you will live!) and see if you can meet to update the IEP before the start of school.  If you need it, just know that Adaptive PE in FCPS is outstanding.  Many counties do a terrible job with PE and kiddos with physical challenges, but FCPS is great at integrating and supporting.

My 2-cents is to pick a home that feeds into a base high-school that you are happy with.  I don't think the high school that the neighborhoods around TJ feeds into are quite good as others in the county (Woodson, Madison, McLean, Oakton, etc), so you don't want to be stuck if your child is not admitted or you decide TJ is not a good fit.  Also, the traffic in DC is horrid, so I would take the work commute into consideration as well.

Good luck!

Thank you!  My guess is that we'll probably stick with what we're doing now, or an online private school for the first year at least, but school quality is important for our other kids who will definitely be in school, although they're the kind of kids who will land on their feet wherever.

Can you tell me more about adaptive PE?  I have to say that my first thought is that if he made it back to school part time, then we wouldn't want that limited time spent in PE, but maybe I'm underestimating it?  What kinds of things do they have your kid do?

Also, you don't happen to know anything about nursing services during the school day, do you?  [/quote]
