[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 146130, member: 4362"] The only thing I can add is to make sure that there's a Behavior Support Plan (BSP) as part of the IEP. Also, check out the BPKids site about what they recommend for educational services for bipolar children. They have some great suggestions. My son, after two years of hell at public schools, finally ended up in a nonpublic school that has the mental health and behavioral support he needs to be successful in school. He's very bright, so academics have never been the issue. But we all know the behavioral issues our difficult children bring to the classroom! I went to dozens of IEP meetings to get him where he is, and the SD is paying the tab. Be aware that this may be something that you'll have to decide later, but the Special Education law (IDEA) states that kids should be in the "least restrictive environment". I had to keep restricting the environment to get my difficult child the support he needed. Do check out the school, and have your son visit, too. It will help tremendously for him to step into an environment that isn't completely new. If you can, try and stay for the first hour of his first day. Most teachers won't object, and it will put him at ease. Good luck and let us know how he does! [/QUOTE]
