[quote=Anonymous]I'm an elementary special ed teacher in MCPS. GT/LD is a special ed placement in MCPS (unlike the CES programs). It is very hard to get that placement and the home school model program would have to NOT be meeting your child's needs in order to get a placement there. A lot of the kids in the program have had some fairly significant behavior concerns in their home school in order to get placed there.

Although it should not be like this I agree with the following:

If you are in the local cluster with the program you think your child needs, they are more likely to get placed in that program (doesn't require changing schools).

You ARE more likely to get a particular service placement if you are very persistent (contact the special ed supervisor often, make sure they are at meetings, require any school refusals to be documented in the prior written notice, and if possible bring a lawyer or advocate).

Look at it this way: what does the more restrictive environment offer that the home school doesn't? Your child's IEP needs to reflect present levels, goals, and service needs in those areas that are either impossible or increasingly difficult for the home school to meet in order to necessitate a change of placement.
