[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, we live in North Bethesda. I have personally spoken to Maddux on several occasions and they have told me that my son is not a fit for the school. He has a severe autism diagnosis. He just started speaking in August. He uses 1 word to label items and say his needs. He is now, this week, starting to do 2 and 3 word phrases. He is completely potty trained, plays with toys appropriately (not fixated on parts of toys or only one type of toy) but does not interact with other children at all, does not respond to questions unless there is a visual, and is very rigid (won't go into new places, hard time with people he knows in a different setting than normal).

As weird as it sounds, it seems like for most schools he is too severe and other schools he is not severe enough. I wish so badly PEP could be an all day program.. he thrives with routine and the CAPP program is not appropriate for him.

I really appreciate all of your response. I feel like teachers, doctors and school staff can make recommendations but the parents are often the best people to talk to about different options.

I hope you all have a wonderful halloween.. hoping our little one decides to wear a costume. :) [/quote]

I am not sure why you would say that CAPP is not appropriate. It sounds like he is actually a good fit. My son is very similar to your son, and he is doing very well in CAPP-[/quote]

Not the OP, but could you please elaborate more on CAPP? I asked I&T about CAPP and understood that it is only for children with an Autism diagnosis..My DC has the diagnosis and she will turn 3 this year and so we have to tour the PEP classes..I am also interested in knowing more about CAPP..my DC has a lot of behavioral issues and language is now in 2 word phrases but she keeps repeating words over and over or keeps singing rhymes all the time. I was told that based on her skill set in a couple months we will know whether she will qualify for 5hr PEP or 10 hr or 15 hours or 25 hours and county decides this based on the evaluation..I thought as parents we have the right to choose what her class she can go to if she already has a diagnosis..a bit confused..[/quote]
