[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can relate with the story 9:10 related.  Although my DS isn't aggressive, he was in an FCPS special ed preschool starting at age 3.  We wanted him held back from K to spend an additional year in the preschool and were informed by the school that his needs would be met through his IEP and he couldn't be held back.  Even our high priced, highly regarded advocate ($250/hr) said there was nothing she could do.  FCPS had to follow the mandated process.  K was an absolute disaster for DS.  We were able to mitigate some of issues by documenting immediately reactions and our suggestions as well as providing the $3.5K private evaluations we had done. As 9:10 said, it was a clusterfuck for everyone until we could get DS out of the mainstreamed classroom.

It sounds like FCPS has a one size fits all process where dc from the special ed preschools are put right into general ed kindergartens. This doesn't really make sense to me-at least some of the kids who needed a special ed preschool are not going to do well in the regular K classes (or they wouldn't have needed a special ed preschool in the first place).[/quote]
