[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ESY is not a skill builder.  It's a stopgap.  You don't take leaps forward in ESY.[/quote]

ESY should be considered if the child is close to achieving a break through skill and/or shows a pattern of regression over the summer months (ie. he will lose skills if services are not continued).  ESY can also be considered as compensatory educational services.

MCPS should be discussing at an IEP meeting if you child qualifies for ESY services.  You can make a case with your parental input and explain what types of private services he has gotten in the past and the benefit of these services.

The reality:  sometimes ESY can be great, sometimes terrible.  It all depends on the placement.

My daughter had ESY speech services and had one on one instruction.  She made phenomenal progress.

My son, he was in a speech class with a kid who only spoke Spanish and other kids with different issues.  He made little progress with the services offered over the summer.[/quote]
