[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what's the zoned school for the house?

if your kids are getting IEP services for sensory processing and being "emotional" it sounds like you must be in a place that has good services. not clear why you would want to take chances on charter lottery. [/quote]

I'm surprised Arlington has IEPs for preK4 ... I didn't realize there were public preK4 programs for mild disabilities. I would reconsider moving.[/quote]

Fyi, every jurisdiction has IEPs for 4 year olds (and 3 year olds) because it's required by federal law. Some jurisdictions, like DC, have universal PK and so can serve kids within that system. Other jurisdictions have public PK just for kids with disabilities (and sometimes typically developing peers, who either pay or are part of headstart). Those jurisdictions have to have a range of programming to serve a range of disabilities. [/quote]

OP here - just to clarify, our 4yo is at a private preschool (no free preschool here!) but the County still approved him for an IEP. As far as I understood, by law they have to support preschool-aged kids. What his IEP entails is that a school psychologist comes to his preschool 2 mornings a week for 30-45 min to work with him on emotional control. I do feel lucky for this but he's made such good progress in the past year that it's looking like he won't need it in a year. [/quote]

FYI - I have children with IEPs and having the amount of services you have for emotional support is a lot higher than most of the services I have seen.

If you move jurisdictions, (or from a charter to DCPS), you still qualify for an IEP BUT your IEP will be re-written.   When we moved from a Charter to DCPS, we were surprised at the reduction of hours.[/quote]
