[quote=Anonymous]In answer to the question about private schools that still are accepting applications.

Compass Academy in Halethorpe MD (not MoCo but we do have families that drive to Compass from MOCO and also from the Eastern Shore) has a rolling admissions policy.  Further they are having an open house on Sunday (15 April) at 2pm and another one on 6 May at 2pm.

My son was dx'ed with ADHD by Child Find at the age of 4 and we had fairly good services in the public school system for preschool.  But as soon as he hit Kindergarten the school system decided (because we had been so proactive) that as he was not 2 years behind he did not qualify for an IEP - then once they pulled the IEP they started to label him a "behavior problem" for issues that were directly related to his ADHD and sensory issues - but as we no longer had an IEP we had no protections .... Public school quickly became a nightmare and we opted out for private and have never regretted it.
