[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m reading this as the parent of a neurodivergent kid in Westchester County, NY and my jaw is on the floor. We have had no issues getting the necessary supports for our kid and he is thriving and happy in school. Having grown up in MoCo and lived in DC it would never have occurred to me that parents in such an affluent area would struggle to get services for their kids, especially since the districts aren’t tiny. Legal precedent here in NY makes it very easy to sue for services which may have something to do with the process here. There is also no shame in neurodivergence in our affluent community that I have encountered.[/quote]

We moved out of Westchester county due to the awful fighting with the school district's apathy and negligence through every single step of the CPSE/IEP process.
My point is that there's no one size fits all good school district, which makes OP's question really hard to answer.
Our kid in DCPS is currently getting more supports than in Westchester, and that'll probably shock anyone, but I'm not going to recommend DCPS based on our single experience, it just to say that the circumstances worked out better that way (and far more affordably). It may change down the road, we may go back to Westchester, who knows.[/quote]
