[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think CMI "over diagnoses" to get additional funding and keep close to their stated mission? My daughter chews her shirt when nervous-- is that age appropriate or pull-aside necessary? Would DCPS and CMI react in the same way? Money follows kids in both settings, and I would love to see a snapshot of that.[/quote] CMI (and other schools) don't "diagnose" anything. DCPS teachers refer kids to Early Stages (a DCPS "assessment center") for testing to determine whether they qualify for an IEP. Charter schools do not use Early Stages; CMI refers kids to independent 3rd party contractors who conduct the testing. Re your child's chewing, if it's not disruptive to her learning, she probably wouldn't qualify for an IEP. However I would recommend buying her a chewy necklace or similar item so she doesn't destroy her clothes. They sell them on Amazon.[/quote]
