[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking this on behalf of a friend whose child has an IEP. Their current DCPS school isn't working. She thinks Reggio would be a good fit for her child, based on their diagnosis.

Is it crazy - or actually possible - that this family could get an IEP that would allow child to attend School Within a School? [/quote]

We got a spot for my child at SWS who had HFA. I asked about this program and could not get an answer. I understand there was a many years long waitlist and it seemed vague and confusing.  I toured the school and was unimpressed with the academic offerings. SWS is not really Reggio IMO and it seemed chaotic, especially sharing a park with the general public. I’ve heard this from other parents as well as glowing reviews from other parents with (neurotypical) children at SWS.  We passed on the spot. [/quote]

You got an IEP placement there or a lottery spot? [/quote]

The inclusion program at SWS isn’t via lottery, so I assume they got an IEP placement there.[/quote]

We didn’t get an inclusion spot. There was a long waitlist and the rest of the school offerings seemed mediocre. My child isn’t safe at a park accessible by the public due to their needs. And i genuinely didn’t get the hype.  Weak academics and I took an instant dislike to the patronizing principal. [/quote]
