[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 747315, member: 13260"] My grandson is now in a therapeutic day school (referred and paid for by the school district, thankfully) and I'm seeing some good changes. He's not real happy with it so far, but as he learns the rules and expectations and the 100% structure that comes with it, I think it will be easier for him. It's only been 6 weeks, but I'm hopeful. Still not an easy kid, still feel like we're walking on eggshells, but after all the horror of last December, we are grateful for any little glimmer of improvement. This school specializes in DBT skills and I think that's about the only thing left for him at this point. We've tried every drug there is, and many different social groups, services at the special day class on his general ed campus, 1:1 instructional aide, etc. This is kind of the last non-residential placement for him. When he was having an escalation at school, he was in the hallway exclaiming loudly "What do I have to do to get expelled from the place???" The director happened to hear him and stopped and gave him a five minute rundown of his options. That shut him right up. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall for that discussion! There is some good news in this thread about our troubled kiddos. [/QUOTE]
