[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS said they would offer compensatory services due to the pandemic.

Technically, they offered some extra hours of "tutoring" with aides or teachers to certain students.

But actually:

It's not working. It couldn't possibly have worked. This is not how disabilities are treated - going for a lengthy period of time with no services or accommodations, then being accompanied a tiny bit more. It doesn't make a dent in the learning delay.

What does reduce the gap?

***Intensive*** work done by parents at home, and/or paid specialists outside of school (yes, the pandemic has increased the inequality gap).

MCPS parents are given the run-around for compensatory services and wait months for something that by definition is not going to help much, when in reality they should be exerting themselves to compensate their kids' accumulated deficits themselves, without waiting.

Please do the same. Don't wait.[/quote]
This.  Search the archives for more info on MCPS compensatory services.  They were offered outside school hours, by outside providers, for negligible hours.  I'd like to hear from families who were not pressured to reject compensatory services (as some were) and who had a positive experience.  [/quote]

MCPS said they would find a provider which never happened. Then, they told us to get our own provider and they would reimburse $60 per hour. My child needed help so we paid for private services. MCPS then refused reimbursement after receipts were provided. Zero hours provided by MCPS and zero reimbursement from the services they pressured us to pay for.

When is the Department of Education going to investigate MCPS for the denial of FAPE?  [/quote]
