[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m still unclear what the OP thinks cannot be met in a gen Ed class? If the child would be in a gen ed class in FCPS, why do you think MCPS would put her in a self contained program? The elementary GTLD (and Asperger’s/Connections) programs are for students who are not successful is a mainstream class. Middle school is different- but we are talking about a young elementary schooler.[/quote]

This is OP. Her needs can be met in a gen Ed classroom. I thought the 2e program in MoCo might be like AAP but with a supercharged special Ed component since all the kids ALSO have special needs. I didn’t realize that all the kids have high support needs for their special needs.

She’s got low support needs but she does have SOME needs, and because she performs above grade level, her support needs tend to be overlooked unless she exhibits a negative behavior. That’s what I’m trying to address. I’m looking for some way to address both the giftedness and the autism.[/quote]

Instead of moving, you are better off spending money on an advocate and/or good evaluation to get a strong IEP to get her support needs met within the gen ed or aap classroom.[/quote]
