[QUOTE="jal, post: 221409, member: 3477"] Hi Dara, I remeber some of your posts regarding Sammy. My difficult child is 6 and has a diagnosis of BiPolar (BP) and ADHD. We are thinking he actually may be high functioning Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). We went through our school system (we were on them from age 3) but as difficult child did not have any Learning Disability (LD)'s they could not help him with special needs pre-school. We stayed in contact with-them and met before kindergarten. By week 3 they realized he needed an IEP. He got supports and a para and year went pretty well. Come 1st grade they realized they did not have the staff or the services to help him. We got an out of district placement at a program that is housed in a main stream school. This program functions in it's own wing and works to help the kids function in a classroom environment. He is in a class of 8. They have classes for autistic, behavioral/emotional and physically incapacitated children. For my difficult child's program as he successfully works in his environment he will be mainstreamed. Once he can function mainstream he will return to district. I am very pleased with the program and his teacher and therapist. He has only been there over a month but already academically he is learning so much. He is very smart, but also has a lot of sensory issues which prevent him from functioning well in a large class of 16 children. Now with a lot more 1 on 1 the kid's math is exploding and his reading is coming a long. I don't know how he knew it, but just the other day he wrote out 2 million and 11 dollars. He wrote the number and said that's 2million and 11 dollars - perfectly - I was floored and so proud for him. We were able to chose or deny the program. We weren't pigeoned holed into it. I don't know if not going through your SD means your going to pay out of pocket, but going through ours since they could not provide the environment for him, they had to pick up the cost of tuition and transportation. I am pleased so far with the staff and program. Good luck to you! [/QUOTE]
