I can assure you that there are kids with special needs at the centers too and they are fighting like you for basic services JUST LIKE YOU. What attention and consideration do the center kids get that the regular kids don't get? I don't see any of that.[/quote]

I don't owe you my story.  Trust me.  What happened to my kid is not OK. Ignored for far too long despite my advocacy.  It doesn't sound like the center kids getting both enrichment and special needs have that problem.They've been tested out the wazoo courtesy of MCPS.  Because I was ignored I had to go outside the system to get tested. For $$$$$$$  My kid is now four grade levels behind because she was written off.  Even more $$$$$ we don't have will be required out of pocket to.  It nearly  broke my kid.  You can GTH.[/quote]

You have NO idea. The kids with SN in the center and they are having trouble getting help too. Do you think your situation is unique? Sorry for what your child went through but this is the story of almost every special needs parent in Montgomery County and especially those in wealthier schools. It is horrible. But it has nothing to do with the center programs. I've heard people blame it on the money being spent on the poorer schools and their free full-year programs, after school enrichment too. These are all separate things and the fact is MCPS does a terrible job in many schools at supporting kids with special needs. It has nothing to do with the CES program. Nothing.[/quote]
