[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 147618, member: 4362"] I want you to know that I put my difficult child in a similar school, and had all of the same doubts and anxieties. It's a difficult decision to make, but if your difficult child isn't successful in her current placement, and she's making it difficult for the teacher to teach and other students to learn, then we have to try something different. My difficult child LOVES his new school!!!! The teachers also work on academics, but the main goal is for him to have the social skills to be successful. He's only been there for three months, but he's doing well, and he doesn't feel like he's a freak. He's not getting teased or bullied as much, especially since many of the kids have similar issues (and behave worse than my difficult child!!!). I know it's a hard decision. But it can't be any worse than where your daughter is now, and believe me, the teasing and bullying will only get worse if she stays in a general ed school. Give it a try for six months, and then have another IEP to evaluate her progress. I wish you the same success that my son is experiencing! [/QUOTE]
