[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, this is the MO of some schools in a particular part of the county. They provide minimal supports or none and hope you leave, to private or a different placement. They do not like to add on more more supports. It means more work for them and more possible disruptions to their classrooms. I know at least three families whose children were "counseled out" of public school in this way in MCPS and ended up transferring to small privates instead of trying to fight the system. It worked out well for them but not everyone is able to afford this or wants this.

In terms of LRE, the MCPS Asperger's program and the ED program are the next level of placement after gen ed since they are supposed to do a combination of self-contained plus gen ed. There's another program called LAD or learning centers or something like that that tends to work in the same way so that might also be an option but I thought most of the children in those programs have more academic issues so this program may not be a great fit for OP's child.

OP, is the LD/GT program an option for next year? I don't know whether they will work with children with behaviors but it may be worth a call to them to see what they can recommend.

[quote=Anonymous]You can't know if a child went to an ED class. He could have moved to another state.

Anyway... OP is now in homeschool with few supports from what it sounds like. There isn't even a behavior plan in place so a change of placement to ED sounds completely unlikely as a next step [/quote][/quote]
