[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burning tree has a learning center. Tilden has an autism middle school program. Pyle has a facilitated communication program but their teacher just left and I know nothing about the new one. A friend had to sue to get private placement. Not easy.[/quote]

There are many other ways in which the link is outdated.  The AAC programs now only run through Second Grade.  There are facilitated communication programs for autism but they are hush-hush.[/quote]

Another reason why MCPS really sucks.  It is near impossible to find anything online about programs.[/quote]

The website sucks, but I've talked to several people in Central Office and they were all very good about answering questions.[/quote]

Well, lucky you.  However, these people probably could probably saved a lot of time if MCPS just posted information in the first place.[/quote]

Lucky me nothing.  I could have save a lot time that way too.  Do you have some magical alternative?  If you do, please share so we all can learn about it.[/quote]

No.  I think you were fortunate in who you talked to.  I wasn't being sarcastic.  I couldn't get basic information from the central office like the deadline for the language immersion programs when it wasn't published online (for a different kid).  I just wish they would post information online and update regularly.  It would be cost and time effective form them and for parents.[/quote]

Ok thanks.  I agree that they need to put a lot more stuff online.  Just for the record, I was talking about the Special Ed department only.  I think they are pretty good overall.  I can't say the same for the rest of MCPS.[/quote]
