[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I have no personal experience with BE unlike other PPs but kids with mild ADHD basically get ignored at every Bethesda area school. It is not a BE issue. The classes are large almost without exception and the school teams don't like to give 504 plans or IEPs to kids with mild needs and prefer they just leave and go to a private school because they think the parents can afford it.

I'm not sure you meant your last comment this way but it's kind of condescending. The reason why BE has such a great reputation is because the special needs students are 100% integrated into the classes. They are not brought out for special events or classes where the other kids can meet them and feel good about themselves for knowing a kid with special needs. They are part of the community as equals.[/quote]

A non-verbal very autistic child simply should not be in a mainstream classroom, but the opportunity for them to mix with and get to know other kids from the same age group in mainstream classes, benefits everyone.[/quote]
