[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many people have had great success with Calo.  If you can get funding from your adoption it would be something to look into.  The good about MCPS is that there are a wide variety of SN programs.  The bad is that there are a wide variety of programs so MCPS is very rarely willing to consider funding a residential program.  And in most cases MCPS will pay for the educational component but not the therapeutic, room or board aspects.  In some states like CA, the schools pay for all of it!

I don’t think RICA Rockville is any more restrictive than the other non publics you mentioned. The other schools I was referred to were Foundation and Laurel Hall.  Foundation was horrific and I walked out crying.  It was nothing more than a holding facility.  Laurel Hall was a good fit but Frederick was too far.  Admissions and I talked about what would happen if he couldn’t get on the bus at the end of the day and I had to come pick him up.  I told them if they called me at 3:30 and told me to come get him, depending on traffic, I might be able to be there by 5.  They were not happy with that idea.  I think Laurel Hall is an option for people who live in northern MoCo but not a great option for people that live in the southern portion.

[b]What about Katherine Thomas?  [/b]Or Phillips Annandale?  I don’t know the schools that incorporate ABA.  Compared to many areas of the country we have a wealth of options—it does suck when none of the options available seem to be the right fit.  [/quote]

If the child was rejected at Lourie, there is NO way Katherine Thomas will accept them.[/quote]
