[quote=Anonymous]The School Community Based Program at Bethesda Elementary is generally considered one of the best in the area for kids with complex needs.  It's built on an inclusive model, and very well done.  At your price range, you'd be unlikely to find a house in your budget in the Bethesda catchment, but you might be able to find a house in a neighborhood that is zoned to one of the other elementary schools that feeds to the same high school, in which case your daughter might be assigned there.  The areas around Rosemary Hills elementary and Rock Creek Forest Elementary are generally the least expensive areas in the cluster, and tend to have more varied housing stock than some areas around DC.

Having said that, at 4 your daughter would be in PEP, which is MCPS's preschool program for children with disabilities. She'd probably be in the PEP Beginnings program.  It might be worth renting for a year, while she's in PEP and you get to know the county system, and they'd get to know her.  Then once they are ready to make their recommendations for Kindergarten placements, you could choose a home based on the programs in that category (e.g. School Community Based, Learning For Independence, Learning Center, Physical Disabilities, Augmentative Communication etc . . . ).[/quote]
