[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would urge you to contact Fairfax or Montgomery County Public Schools.  They are likely the most qualified and have the resources to make this happen.  While you didn't have success with public schools in the past, these are some of the most resourced and advanced in the country when it comes to accommodating children with specific needs.[/quote]

For what it's worth, there was a medically fragile child in my daughter's class last year at MCPS.  But he had a one-on-one aide as well.  The problem I see with a public school (even a small one like where my daughter attends) is the playground and hallway times are very busy, and the kids are expected to be pretty independent which means they are not always highly supervised.  This means kids get jostled a bit.  Fine if you're a physically typical kid, but not fine for OP's daughter.

At a smaller school, I think OP would have a better chance of all the kids being educated about her daughter's needs and being aware.

Good luck, OP!  [/quote]
