[QUOTE="beandawgs, post: 485264, member: 11487"] This past April I was right where you are now, and posted about it here. I was heartbroken to think about moving my son to a self-contained ED class at another school, away from his brother and away from mainstream kids. The decision was painful and sad. We did end up moving him to the class and I think he is benefitting from it. Its actually at a more affluent school with mainstream kids and special classes. The staff in the class know how to deal with him better and his behavior is improving. He had a huge improvement when he started, and has had some setbacks, but all in all we're on the upswing. I can say that there are still moments of sadness when I eat lunch at school with my other son and my difficult child isn't there. I miss seeing him with his peers and doing "normal" things. In the program he's in , they have to "earn" privileges like eating in the cafeteria, sitting with the mainstream kids, etc. He hasn't earned them yet. His meltdowns are better and behavior at home is better. I still worry about his future , but my guy is still very young yet at 7, so I hope things will improve. I would suggest spending a good amount of time talking to the staff at the new school and go by what your gut tells you about them. The staff will make all the difference. Good luck to you :-) [/QUOTE]
