[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, and let's say my kid needs extra support to build his resume and pursue college-worthy extra-curriculars. Who pays for that? There are no MCPS funds or aides for that.  [/quote] No one gets that, even if they have an IEP.  Those are not in the purview of FAPE. [/quote]

+1 support for "building his resume and pursue college-worthy extra-curriculars" would be from working with a therapist (outside school) to address the anxiety that is limiting participation. Or, with a college counselor who could give a push toward certain activities or helping him shape ideas/action to do something unusual outside of school-based stuff.

My son has ADHD and never wanted to do school activities. But as parents we insisted he had to do something outside of videogames so he took guitar lessons and then started playing at church and took up running on his own.[/quote]

Because that is what good parents do.  And if your kid was so ridden with anxiety and couldn't do that, you would have likely gotten him therapy to help address the anxiety to be able to do it.
