[quote=Anonymous]IN ES, there is not a lot for 2E kids in MCPS.  Some 2E kids are admitted to the normal CES programs like other gifted but non-disabled students.  Students with IEPs and 504s in this program still get what’s on their plan, but usually these kids don’t need a ton of special instruction.

There is an elementary GTLD program at Barnsley elementary (https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/barnsleyes/classroom/gtld/) but you must be placed there by the home school IEP team.  It is for GT/LD, GT/ADHD and GT/any second exceptionality (including autism).  IEP law mandates that kids be evaluated individually so you can’t be barred from entry into a program simply because the student has or doesn’t have a particular diagnosis.

My kid was at did this Wings Mentor program at his home ES, but it was really only a person coming in once a week for an hour to work on a personal project with him.  There was no connection to the curricula. It was totally unrelated to any needed special instruction.  It was basically just to boost his self-esteem and a bone to offer the parent when the school was messing up other stuff.  I don’t really think it had a significant impact on him.

You can see more about offerings here.
