[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bridge and Connection are not for kids with emotional dysregulation or behaviors. MCPS will place such a student in SESSES, at which point Ivymount is a much better choice. tell her to take it. [/quote] Kids who are exhibiting these behaviors are doing so for a reason. That is the key. My DD did not until 8th grade when the social and academic expectations exceeded her abilities in public school. Bridge was not for her, because the environment and approach was not supportive of her needs. It’s a catch-all for any kid (primarily with an Autism diagnoses) that MCPS can’t handle elsewhere. It was an awful fit for my DD. Might be a good fit for some. She was more dysregulated there than anywhere else, and they don’t tolerate those kinds of behaviors or have the ability to prevent them. She is now in a small, supportive non-public placement and guess what? No more dysregulation.[/quote]
