[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would the Archdiocese complain about having to take your child for free services?! Horribly short sighted on their side.

Couple of thoughts/questions. Is this for older kids? I cannot imagine them revoking services for private preschoolers since it is so difficult to get a PK slot in some schools.

DCPS has a world of problems. Of course, they will shit on tax payers who select private over DCPS. The special ed teachers are overbooked! They have to cut services and they will cut the private school kids.

My child received early stages intervention with DCPS while at a private preschool. While I loved her speech therapist, I really got a glimpse into DCPS, which makes me very thankful we went the private school route. Mind you this was at a super popular NWDC elementary school. Early Stages also only gave her one session a week, I had to pay out of pocket for her other 3 sessions a week.

Honestly, I would look into moving to MoCo if your child needs long term support needs. DCPS is just terrible.[/quote]

The transportation would be a nightmare. Parochial schools usually don't have school buses and even if they did, transporting Larla to the local PS once a day is a huge waste of gas, plus a wear and tear on the vehicle. If parents want the private school to transport, pay for the transportation. Otherwise, utilize the services your tax dollars pay for without soaking the private school. And yes, my child attends private and has SN. [/quote]

For us, there was no transportation costs. We walked from the private preschool to the DCPS elementary school. I agree that parents who use early stages are responsible for getting their child to and from the place of therapy.[/quote]
