Ivymount is the only area school that caters to students with multiple disabilities and has specialized programs for children with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome.

Consequently, it draws its 215 students not only from Montgomery County, but from Prince George’s and Frederick counties, from Northern Virginia, the District of Columbia and as far away as Baltimore and the Eastern Shore.

All that made it easy for Maryland Sen.

Brian Frosh (D-16) to ask his colleagues to support a $170,000 bond bill for classroom and bathroom renovations at the school.

The money would help to complete improvements made during a major renovation five years ago.

Since the building was built as a traditional public elementary school in 1961, it has to be retrofitted with ramps and other fixtures to be Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant.“It’s a modest amount of money for an extraordinary resource,” Frosh said.

“They had a small and outdated facility that they’ve been improving and they’re getting there.

… It really is a statewide resource.” Frosh is joined by Sen.

Rob Garagiola (D-15) and six other senators in sponsoring the bond bill.

In the House of Delegates, all six representatives of Districts 15 and 16 are sponsors.

Ivymount, near the corner of Seven Locks Road and Tuckerman Lane, is on the border of the two districts.

The bill was favorably received in both houses and Frosh said that the funding is very likely to come through.

Mary Blue is a pediatric developmental disabilities researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.

Blue notes that the study found only a slight, six to 12 percent difference in brain structure development among the children.

But she agrees that studies mapping a normal brain could help children with serious neurological difficulties.

"This could be a measure that you could use to look at when you are applying therapies.

So, if you use different kinds of therapies, can you actually change brain structure?

," he said.

Meanwhile, Shaw and his colleagues are currently using data collected from the current study to see if they can pinpoint key differences between the brains of healthy children and those with severe disorders.
