[QUOTE="dadside, post: 283521, member: 5707"] One of the aims of "special" education is to get the student back to "regular", and a clear wish is to have the student in the mainstream wherever possible. I think those are good, and as your son seems "ready" for it, it sure seems worth doing. The professionals at the therapeutic school felt he could succeed in the mainstream school "given the proper supports". If you can spell out those supports - or get the therapeutic staff to do so, and get those incorporated in his IEP in a way that would "protect" his placement, even if occassional issues - possibly medication related - arise, all might gain from proceeding. I can't think of a good reson why the "proper supports" would be an issue. Though there may be an argument that they've not done that before, there can be a first time. From what you wrote, I'd vote for the mainstream placement with supports ... starting at the start of the school year. [/QUOTE]
