[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because as the parent of a young special needs child we are not only exhausted all the time, we have spent nearly every penny and then some on private services to help our child.  There is nothing left to give, not the time, energy or money.

Not to mention many special Ed students end up as single family households.  Not all, so please don't jump down my throat. But the reality is, if you have money, you go private and get what your child needs. And if you don't have money, many of cannot add even one more thing to our plate. So we get what we get and try not to get to upset[/quote]

+1 Public school families do not have unlimited financial resources. To legally fight MCPS, an entity with unlimited funds for legal fights, parents weigh the cost  with the benefits. Often, the best course of action is paying for private services for our children.

It’s disgusting that MCPS doesn’t focus on the needs of the child. They fight to deny services and then when families prevail, MCPS struggles systemwide to implement IEPs.

Free routes for recourse is filing a state complaint or an OCR complaint. It doesn’t take a lawyer. [/quote]
