Always wanting freebies, but denying others.....[/quote]

FCPS agreed these families were owed compensation.[/quote].

Lol! No, FCPS didn't. Some overworked case manager who didn't give a crap anymore agreed just to get the parents off her back. FCPS gave virtually no guidelines on this. [/quote]

FCPS didn't decide anything. They were forced to compensate parents by the Office of Civil Rights. FCPS didn't give a crap about the kids during the pandemic or now. They're just doing what they have to by law. No countywide guidance was given to case managers. I have two kids in different schools - one school was very fair with compensation, the other wasn't.

I pay $150/hour for my ASD kid's therapy. He was denied over 400 hours of services. I'm being compensated for less than 20% of that. It's not about gimmee, gimmee, gimmee. It's about parents fighting for their children that were denied federally mandated services. No one with a special needs kid would say something so heartless.

FCPS was giving your child 400 hours of SPED support? That seems unlikely.[/quote]

Yes, he has a severe disability and was out of school for over a year.

Even my child without a severe disability missed hundreds of hours. Many of those were support hours from an IA, but he still did not receive them. [/quote]

If he has a severe disability, he would have been eligible to return in October of 2020 unless you decided to keep him virtual for all of 2020-2021. [/quote]

Yep, something doesn’t add up (pun intended)[/quote]

I really shouldn't have to defend myself. It's all documented on the IEP. He did go back in October 2020, but FCPS went back to virtual by Thanksgiving and he had to wait until February 2021 to go back again.

I'm only one of many. I don't think parents of neurotypical kids were treated fairly during the pandemic either.

I prefer to shed a light on what's happening, so other parents can fight for their children. I'm not sure how questioning my authenticity and accusing parents of being greedy make anything better in FCPS. [/quote]

You are posting on a totally anonymous forum with information that is hard to believe. I’m not saying you’re lying, but don’t be surprised when people ask questions.[/quote]
