[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -  We are targeting FCPS specifically [b]Vienna/McLean [/b]pyramids. We also looked at FCCPS, but it seemed very small and was worried that this may impact availability of autism supports. I know nothing is perfect when it comes to public school, we are just trying to get as good as we can given the limitations that exist with public school support in general, and have a more collaborative, transparent process than DCPS, which has been the opposite. And also somewhere that won't constantly violate the IEP. Private school is not an option for us, we supplement with private ST/OT and some limited in-home ABA after school.

Our Plan C alternative is that if FCPS/MCPS is terrible, we return to NYS. But I hope that doesn't need to be the case, as we like the DMV.

FWIW we found Langley to be hugely antagonist to special needs parents. They fought everything We gave up
And went private [/quote]

I agree. Langley has been difficult with my special needs son.  It is a good school, but just seems they aren’t interested in any kid with different needs. It is super sad.[/quote]

this has been our experience in another highly regarded pyramid at all levels. I realized a few years in that we were trying to get terrible services and the schools were doing everything possible to do as little as possible and the limited services we did receive were terrible.

FCPS treats families with disdain and nothing can convince me otherwise. [/quote]
