[quote=Anonymous]There are a few situations where MCPS is considered good and one is if your child has severe autism. Their autism unit is considered to be top notch and they have a self-contained programs for these children who are usually non-verbal with very dedicated teachers. They also have a respected Asperger's program that goes from elementary to high school but that's very limited and difficult to access. They are notoriously terrible with giving supports to kids with HFA, ADHD and especially with those who are 2e in general education. The problem is worse in wealthier areas as they try to save on costs by advising those parents to get private services they pay for themselves. But it does vary by school. I know people who have children with similar needs and one child will not even get a 504 and the other will have 10 hours in their IEP.[/quote]
