[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in a similar boat...we've been wait listed for over a year for Autism testing (ADOS).  I contacted our local MCPS school this summer to give them a heads up, prior to the kiddo starting Kindergarden and was told we'd have to wait for school to start for them to begin assessments for an IEP.  In other words, contact Child Find now, don't wait.  Child Find is what hooks you up with services your child is legally entitled to, and payed for by your taxes.

MCCPTA is hosting a zoom lecture on Tuesday: Fundamentals of the Special Education Process in MCPS--I wish I knew about this last year!

Are you new to the special education process in MCPS?

Has your child been receiving special education services, but you struggle to understand the terminology your child’s IEP team uses?

Do you want to be a strong advocate for your child when it comes to special education services?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then the next MCCPTA Special Education Committee presentation is for you!

Join us on Tuesday, October 12 for our quarterly speaker event with Monica Martinez, Special Education Advocate, from 8:00 – 9:15 p.m. Ms. Martinez will address the Fundamentals of the Special Education Process in MCPS.

For more info., contact the special education committee chairs: Stephanie Frumkin at SpecialEd@MCCPTA.org or Rachel Tate at SpecialEdViceChair@MCCPTA.org.

I believe you can receive a provisional diagnosis of ASD while waiting on ADOS.  I believe even a pediatrician can confer the provisional.[/quote]
