[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS has good autism programs depending on the type of support required.[/quote]

Huh. Would have to disagree.[/quote]

Me too [/quote]

It seems like on paper they have a LOT more than DCPS. My kid is on grade level and I don’t think there is any DCPS program for him. [/quote]

Yes, they do on paper.  In reality, MCPS does a terrible job with ASD kids.  We struggled the whole time with my DC at MCPS.  They gave me the impression of not carrying for SN kids and just not wanting to help.  We met a family who moved from DC to MoCo for schools.  They felt highly disappointed.[/quote]

I think they did a good job about a decade ago. But the huge rise in kids with autism and the lack of special educators have made mcps not a great place for many kids with autism. Lots of mainstreaming with limited support or self contained programs that you have to fight for a spot and quality will really vary from school to school.[/quote]
