[quote=Anonymous]I've been a member for several years, and they are a wonderful group and I learn a lot from the listserv and the meetings. But the bottom line is that while you can learn things as a parent, the efforts and discussions of the GT/LD network does not impact school policies or improvement of the special needs programs in the county. I was just saying that I credit the information I gained through the network for what I was able to get for my daughter. It has been life changing for her. Helping parents to navigate the system effectively is faster than policy change. Although, the board of the network does advocate for improvement and policy change.... write letters, testify before BOE, meet with MCPS officials, serve on county committees etc. In fact the network was the catalyst for starting the centers, and arguably what keeps them from going the way of the dodo. I am very sorry to hear about your experience. I realize that time is not on your side, and I would probably do the same given your son's situation. I know how it feels to be told one thing, and then wake up to a very different reality. I will talk to the board and let them know about what is happening (I know it won't do you any good but might help someone else). Best of luck to your boy![/quote]
