[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the push for an IEP.  You need an IEP if you want public services.  If you are doing them privately or child does not need them, at age 4, you do not need an IEP.  You do need an IEP in public school if you want supports and services.  However, if you go to a school who want to help, they will make it work regardless.  Our IEP is worthless and doesn't address the one area of need.  Services are group/30 minutes with a huge mix of kids and my child's educational need is not being met as the other kids have greater struggles.

OP, you are looking at really large and popular schools.  [b]I'd look at some of the smaller ones most have never heard of. [/b] I don't know VA at all so I can recommend any.  I would not do the VA to MD commute as its terrible with traffic.

[b]I'd skip Green Acres.  [/b]Its a very fluffy school without a lot of structure.  I cannot imagine that would be a good fit.

I don't get why the discussion is about IEP's and DCPS when OP is asking for private school suggestions in VA.[/quote]

Good point re smaller schools.  Thank you.  I don't know enough about GA but I definitely see your point.  Perhaps a NP could comment.

I'd like to have a short list of schools prepared to at least start calling if the recommendation is supportive of a mainstream approach.   I'm also hoping that whatever the recommendation is, that the consultant will come forward with some additional recommendations based on past placements, etc.[/quote]
