[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in DC and have been time that MoCo has a good 2e program by enough people that I was contemplating a move. [/quote]

It used to, but has been gutted. Last school year one of the GTLD programs moved from a model with small classes to throwing the kids into a Gen ed class with almost 30 kids. The special ed part was having one para for the class. [/quote]

+1 same for Autism Connections (formerly Aspberger’s program).  Kids are in Gen Ed most of the day with some supplemental time in a separate classroom with special Ed/behavioral supports. My kid would say that they would have rather stayed in their homeschool because the Gen Ed classes were just as large and the autism program kids were ignored or othered by the Gen Ed kids in the class. It just made my kid feel bad. It also was boring as it didn’t address the academic needs of a 2e.

We ended up pulling for private. 
There is no alternative in public for an at grade level kid who needs small class sizes. At least in mcps…[/quote]
