[quote=Anonymous]Hi Op-this is the PP who asked about Florida services. Thank you so much for the info. We had been looking at Broward and Palm Beach Counties and got similar feedback. That’s so discouraging about school options down there. I would consider private in any part of Florida too but haven’t found any either (for elementary age for my kid). That school you sent looks great! Too bad it’s only 6-12.

As for the educational advocate, it is someone private that you hire. It’s tough because they are so expensive (anywhere from $150 to $300 an hour). I have worked with several and they were all somewhat frustrating (not great at getting back to me, giving some misinformation etc) but it’s very helpful to have an advocate for MCPS IEP meetings (and other neighboring counties) because I find that MCPS takes your requests more seriously when you have an advocate. A lot of folks here use the Weinfeld group and they have several folks there. They can also help you create goals, supp aids etc for the IEP.

If you have an anonymous/throw away email, I’d be happy to connect with you to help steer towards resources here! I have two kids with IEPs so I have been really entrenched in this world up here for a while. I also know a bunch of moms whose kids are in high school with ASD up here and could connect you with them if you’d like.

Good luck!
