[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcps staff member- white kids are much more likely to have 504 plans and black and brown kids are much more likely to have ieps- we just received data about this.

For a district that is all about equity, accessing accommodations and services for kids with disabilities is the most inequitable system that mcps has.  Wealthy parents can afford private tutoring, advocates, and lawyers to fill in the gaping holes of what mcps offers.  Go over to the special needs page and see how much things cost-$5,000 for a neuropsych which often needs to be redone every few years, $150 an hour for an advocate or og tutor, $2,000 for a special edication attorney to begin working with you.

. Parents without means or lack the education to know- their kids will be passed from year to year or given limited service- until their learning issues become  insurmountable or they eventually begin acting out. I can't tell you how many times I've seen seniors who are functionally illiterate.

At our W feeder I'd estimate about 60% of the kids have a 504 or IEP.[/quote]
