[QUOTE="--Eleanor--, post: 42740, member: 3620"] Thanks, everyone. He has had a full evaluation last fall from a multidisciplinary team at state's best research hospital, and they recommended that he should be in a mainstream setting with behavioral supports or in a self-contained behavioral classroom. His serious behavior problems didn't start until last fall when he entered 1st grade. I blame it, at least in part, on what happened with the school last fall. He had the case manager from hell at our local elementary who set out to prove that he shouldn't be mainstreamed and they basically didn't give him any supports and didn't follow his IEP at all, but rather just followed him around documenting his difficulties. Fortunately, we figured out fairly quickly what was going on and shocked the sh*t out of them by filing a due process before they could succeed in their little game. They settled the case quickly, and he is now in a much better school with staff that I don't believe are trying to sabotage him. So anyway, they are obviously going to be really careful about trying to move him... What is so frustrating is that he doesn't exhibit these problem behaviors when he is with us. (Not that he doesn't have problem behaviors--he has plenty--but not the aggressive stuff they are seeing at school.) And the school hasn't been able to spot any definitive triggers. I'm wondering if it simply isn't overstimulation, and that maybe he needs a more self-contained environment. That totally goes against my nature to say this, because I am a strong advocate for LRE and I really want him to be with mainstream peers--he likes them! Anyway. Weekend coming up. That always makes me feel better! [/QUOTE]
