[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at RICA.  I think MCPS does behavioral SN well IF the parents want it.  It’s when the parents won’t discuss teacher concerns that behavior issues take much longer to resolve and impact the other students learning.  There are so many levels of scaffolded support: High functioning autism, SESES, ESESES, and RICA.  If the teachers, parents, and administration are all in agreement that a change in placement is necessary, then the process is pretty easy, but still not quick.

MCPS is one of the few school systems in the country that offers a therapeutic, on par curriculum.  I have friends in my support group that have to send their kid out of state to get the help I get locally.  Fairfax has Keller and Phillips but they don’t use the FCPS curriculum; it’s similar to SP-Rockville or Foundation.  If the goal is to provide the child the skills necessary to mainstream, then how can you expect that to happen if you are not providing as rigorous curriculum as your neighborhood students are receiving.

You forget to mention kids have to be severely impacted or parents have to hire an attorney or sue to get those placements.  [/quote]

If you have to hire an attorney or sue than one part of the IEP team (parents, teachers, administration) is not in agreement with a change in placement [/quote]
