[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

You had 2 years of state funded preschool.  Special Ed preschool is expensive for the taxpayers, do you don't get it unless there are no other options.  If you felt like he wasn't ready for K, you could have put him in a private school program or homeschooled him rather than let him have a terrible year.[/quote]

What you don't get is Ivymount with a behavior aid will cost $80K a year.

What you also don't get is early intervention for preschool and FAPE and IDEA helps everyone b/c the goal is to make productive members of society and not school dropouts.

Estimates from 2012 on what's spent on a SPED student per day:  $73.90, which is probably less than what you spend in Starbucks in a week.
