[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has been and still is an MS HFA "strategies" program at Francis (Stevens).  School teams from around the district know that the Strategies program exists and that there is a process that needs to be completed in order for students to be placed in that program assuming there are spots available.[/quote]

Right … school teams supposedly know but won’t actually be forthcoming with any information about it or the supposed process. And when I asked they didn’t really seem to know anything other than “oh yeah; I heard that exists!”

I'm sorry that has been your experience.  You could always request the LEA representative at your school contact the school that has the strategies program to inquire about what the process is. Or even request a meeting with the strategies program representative yourself. Some school teams really have never had experience transferring a kid into a strategies class so they may not really know the process.  Therefore not providing you with the info may likely have been related to inexperience.
(They also have a 3-5 strategies program at Takoma, and possibly Seaton.)[/quote]

I mean I have zero idea who the “strategies program representative” is. There isn’t even any official documentation anywhere of what this “strategies” program is. It shouldn’t be some secret process that people may or may not know about. It’s not Sasquatch. [/quote]

Listed under "special education" it says "Autism Strategies".  Doesn't seem that hidden.

lol no. There is no description anywhere of what the program is and the criteria to get placed there. It’s not clear if that is a self contained program.   I don’t know why but they really try to keep the HFA programs under wraps. And yes I discussed this with the school and they were not forthcoming. We muddled through so it’s a moot point but they are definitely trying to hide the HFA programs for some reason. [/quote]
