[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure OP is still checking this message, but if she is, I'll give her an example of WHY she can't use a private bus stop. My dd has high functioning autism and also extreme anxiety. If she sees someone standing outside our house, she will (usually) start screaming, "I don't want to say hello!" over and over and over and then it will take about 30 minutes to get her to go outside. When she actually gets on the bus, she's fine. She's also kept on the bus until all the kids get off. It's the process of moving to and fro that upsets her. THAT'S why she gets a separate stop, per her IEP, and why our bus stop is the first. It's faster, easier, and is less disruptive for everyone. And, also per her IEP, it's a temporary stop, which means it could change.

In other words, many sn children without physical disabilities have difficulty transitioning from one situation (i.e. home) to another (i.e. bus), which is why they are given special accommodations (i.e. private bus stop). Thus, it's faster, more efficient and less traumatic for all to have private bus stops for those sn kids who need it, per their IEP.

Does that clarify the WHY, OP? [/quote]

I am a PP and I appraciate you giving this full on explanation.  Hopefully, the OP and other will see why she was denied.  That being said, I would be livid if MCPS transpo felt it needed to give this type of answer to another parent seeking to piggyback my DS' situation.  Maybe now, OP will leave it alone, but I STILL feel that she is not owed this type of detail. [/quote]
