[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of multiple kids in our school with one-to-one aides, but they are kids with severe developmental delays, not kids with ED, which I know is harder to diagnose/make the case for that kind of support.  My friend who is in an administrative position in elementary was telling me about how they handle it if a kid walks out of school property.  I had never really thought about how something like that should be handled.  Though I did know a young adult who had a history as an elementary schooler of leaving school and walking home in the middle of the day.  And a parent who didn’t march him right back.[/quote]

Only specific MCPS schools have Emotional Disability programs.  Usually a specially trained para is assigned to a few students who are integrated with mainstream students for Art, Music, PE, and Library.  The paras know when to pull an ED child who is misbehaving.  A much more challenging situation is when a child who doesn't have an IEP is seriously misbehaving and that child doesn't have  that level of support.  Kindergarten and 1st grade are especially tricky, as students with emotional needs have not all been evaluated yet.[/quote]
