Our child has significant difficulty maintaining focus and is not easy to motivate. He has an IEP and has required extensive support this school year, which has resulted in him having many successes and wins.

I am so worried about moving to the area and not getting the services and assistance he needs to be successful.

I had always heard such good things about MCPS, and now do not know where we should think about moving in the DMV. [/quote]

People like to complain, and of course MCPS (like all districts) is far from perfect, but I definitely wouldn't jump to conclusions based on a few posts on an anonymous message board.   Figure out a few elementary schools in neighborhoods you're considering and try to ask around for the experience parents have had there in real life.  Reach out to autism/special needs parent groups in real life.  And if you want to ask questions here, get specific about what kinds of services and supports you're looking for and the schools you're considering so people can give you meaningful feedback, not just random comments about how MCPS isn't good for autism from someone who might be in a totally different place with a totally different kind of kid from yours.[/quote]
