[quote=Anonymous]My kid did PEP. Get yours into PEP. That is the best way to make sure you even get an IEP at all, especially for a kid who has no academic/cognitive issues as the PP states. The PEP class my HFA kid did was two half days per week. Totally worth it.

They aren't super communicative and generally think that any kid who doesn't throw chairs is super awesome. BUT, you are in the system, on their radar and will be set to get supports for K. Since that seems to be the concern, I would work with the county now.

That being said, MCPS doesn't offer any great shakes for HFA kids who are verbal, and their threshold is pretty low, and who are academically on target.

That's why working with the county in a Pre-k setting like PEP is so important. You have that whole year to get them to see your side and give supports you think are needed.

My experience with private pre-k, because we did both,  was that the county felt the private school teachers just didn't know what they where doing and. That is why my kid had a harder time in private. They basically discounted any "evidence" I presented from his private school, including a letter from the private teacher stating that he had a tough time in a class setting.
