[QUOTE="Sheilz, post: 110802, member: 3966"] Does anyone have any experience with a child who attends private school and has behavior issues due to ODD/ADHD? My difficult child attends private school (has been there since pre-school) and there have been several incidents this year with his verbal and physical aggression at school. Most of it has happened during the 'transition' from the class to the playground or after school activities. The school has been working with us, understands that he has a disability, however, now that one parent has complained, they are talking about suspending him (3rd grade) for bad behavior. What I can't seem to get through to them is that the behavior is the product of the illness. The kicker to this is, his report card this year had all As and 1 B (handwriting.) So, it's hard to argue that the disability is affecting his ability to learn. His classroom accommodations allow him to sit up front, leave the room when he needs to find a quiet spot or to take a time out. There aren't any special accommodations for the playground or afterschool - he's a very competitive child and outgoing child. I have to do more research, but because they are a private school, rather than the public school, it appears that I don't have much recourse if they choose to suspend him for behavior issues, even though they are on notice of a disability and are required to accommodate. Any thoughts on this or avenues to explore? I'm at the end of a very long rope and trying to find the best environment for him. [/QUOTE]
