[quote=Anonymous]In Montgomery County, there are 2 elementary schools which have special programs for kids with physical disabilities.  Forest Knolls in Silver Spring and Judith Resnick in Gaithersburg.  Forest Knolls is a MD Focus school and class sizes for k-2 are up to 19 students.

MD Focus schools (and there are lots in Mont Co) are like title I schools, except they have a less needy population and the money to make smaller class sizes (K-2) comes from the state and not the federal government.

When my child was in K-2, there were 2 classrooms (out of 7 or 8) which had kids with IEPs in them.  There was a classroom teacher, a para-educator and a special education teacher which is shared between the 2 classes.  Class size in my child's 3rd grade is 26 students, but there is a full time para-educator and a full time special education teacher assigned to the class. From what I can tell is that grades 3-5, have just one classroom for kids with IEPs.

I don't know about Judith Resnick (class size), but I'm pretty sure there is a para-educator in the classes with kids with IEP's.

Does your child have an IEP? [/quote]
