[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP that’s what mcps wants. For you to pay for the services.

To other poster, yes we put for all. Advocate and tutor and therapy. Not to mention the distress associated with each IEP meeting and having to fight for services. [/quote]

This is a Civil Rights problem in MCPS.  Children with disabilities need appropriate special education and/or related services to have equal access to the curriculum.  Ignoring problems, hiding data in Canvas, lying to parents regarding the law and their rights, not performing comprehensive evaluations, and not providing children the special education and related services that are on IEPs and 504 plans unequally impact children whose families do not have the financial means to get their children the help they legally deserve.

Agree, but a child's childhood and timeline for getting appropriate services, especially when they are young and its the most helpful, is limited.   You can spend years fighting with MCPS and still get piss poor services so you either let your kid fail or you pay for services (and depending on the need an advocate).  I completely agree with you except there are low cost ways to do services but it all takes time and a huge commitment on the parents part.  In the early years, you can tutor your kids (harder once they hit middle school), universities have lower cost services as part of their student training and other resources a well.  Low income, who have medicaid also do better as they pay for ST, OT, and PT unlike other insurances.[/quote]
