[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Sorry about tards sucking up your budget.[/b] The majority of special needs children have difficulties that are best addressed in an inclusive environment with "pull" services as needed. Speech, motor, attention, etc. They are of normal intelligence. There are several DCPS schools with specialized programs, but every DCPS is required to provide the services outlined in a child's IEP. If they cannot, there are specialized schools for the most needy or fragile and there's a referral process for that. But here's the thing about inclusion - it means that DCPS doesn't get to pick and choose their special needs kids. They will take them all, as required by law. Your child may well be friends with one (don't worry, it's not contagious). If you have a problem with your child being in a school that devotes significant resources to children who need extra help, I recommend a private school because they're not required to adhere to the IDEA Act.
