[QUOTE="Martie, post: 54082, member: 284"] I agree that the level of problems associated with his diagnosis's and being retained strongly suggest that your child needs intensive intervention. The adult to child ratio is similar to therapeutic day schools. I would ask the principal what other opportunities for inclusion (mainstreaming) there might be as the year goes on. There will be field trips, assemblies, and if P.E. is still offered in your SD, that would be a possibility. If this were my child I would try it for the following reason: When the parents of the older children on this board were surveyed about what they would do differently if they could do it all again (perish the thought), many said "intervene with the school sooner," or "get more support at school sooner." Not one person said, "I wish I had prevented my child from receiving special education services." Another important piece of information: There is a change in the 2004 law: if you consent to this placement, you can withdraw consent later if you want to. However, if you remove your child from special education entirely, he will be subject to regular discipline, including suspension and expulsion. Martie [/QUOTE]
