[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED Centers are now called CSS programs. They changed the name to reflect the huge number of kids with autism, that used to be called ED, back in the day.

The staffing makes a huge difference, but it’s also hard to find staff, because so many kids are aggressive, and schools don’t have enough space. Add to that the responsive classroom business and Ross Greene. These kids need behavior mod to get under control, in a respectful and supportive environment, with clear consequences and incentives.

Then there are the parents who refuse therapy or meds for their kids. It’s a mess. [/quote]

Well, the strategies that work for kids with ASD are very different than the strategies for kids with mental health issues or ADHD. So lumping them all together in one room at a CSS site with 10 kids to 1 teacher in a grade K-3 class does not work. At all.

FCPS doesn't care about these kids and just wants to pass them along thru the system with as little investment as possible. Its amazing they get anyone to agree to work at the CSS sites or Burke/Quander/Cedar Lane. They need those jobs on a completely different salary scale. [/quote]
