[QUOTE="klmno, post: 151440, member: 3699"] If it were me, I would visit both schools and meet with admin and teachers- at least once. I have read that BiPolar (BP) kids don't achieve their best in a school environment where other kids have major behavior problems. Also, that private schools don't do as much for accommodating special educational needs. As far as the alternative school, my first question would be HOW do you motivate them (ie, do they use contracts for behavior modification, therapuetic strategies - if so what type, etc); then - do they get a full day of education; what percentage typically go back to mainstream; do they have other students with mood ddisorders. No matter if you can live with the answers or not, at least you would be making an informed decision. [/QUOTE]
