[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655877, member: 1550"] Over my dead body would my spectrum kids be in an "emotionally disabled" class.For that matter, I'd never allow any child of mine to be in a class with a hodgepodge of kids with behavior problems who are, most of them misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. I don't see how that helps any of the kids. There is no such diagnosis as "emotionally disabled." There is a reason that is concrete if a child acts out and reward/punishments don't work for these kids. All it does is frustrate them and the parents because these kids need REAL help and can not do this useless chart system. Nor do they care about it. Most of the time very little learning goes on here...the kids are too wild. Does your son have a 1-1 aide? If he rages, he should. He would probably do better in a quiet, small, low chaos classroom. A Special Education class for normal behaviored kids worked well for my son who is doing great at twenty-one (on his own too). He was able to learn. The classroom was quiet and he worked at his own pace. There were Downs Syndrome kids there (they worked at their own pace), other cognitive delayed kids (my son has an average IQ but has trouble with certain learning concepts) and he was a great mentor and leader to them. Some had disorders I didn't know. But it was a cohensive close group and my son grew in every way, even socially, in that class. He spent his mornings there for reading and math and was mainstramed for the rest of the day with an aide. Couldn't have worked out better. Get him out of there. He doesn't belong there. It's insane to call the cops on a nine year old. I'd homeschool before I'd allow that. [/QUOTE]
