[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One school can be great for one special needs kid, terrible for another.  Generalizations are not helpful.[/quote]

Exactly.  I have a friend with a dc with HFA. She is very happy with Wood Acres. A lot of it can depend on the individual teachers and your own dc and how he/she responds to a certain environment. I often bemoaned that I didn't know about Bethesda Elementary when we moved here from out of state. But I have learned that it is very crowded. It likely wouldn't have been a good fit for my dc as he needs smaller classes. He had a great IEP but ended up at a small special needs private. Our goal is to return to public (hopefully soon).[/quote]
Id like to point out that private schools and non-public schools are not the same thing. I'm assuming you meant a non-public school. The distinction is very important and something that makes a huge difference when it comes to politics and funding.[/quote]

Not being snarky here: what is the difference between private and non-public?  Fwiw, I did not seek funding from MoCo for my dc's tuition.  I do keep his IEP active (although I believe it is technically called a service plan).[/quote]
