[QUOTE="change, post: 160938, member: 4808"] Hi, We're going on school #3 for the 3rd year of middle school ourselves (8th grade). We tried private school (our faith) but they were too unstrucutured and not equipped to deal with our daughter's problems. Also, in such a small school, with her odd behavior, she had no friends at all. For 7th grade, she was on a transfer in an elite public school. The only reason she got to go was because she had transcripts from a private school that was nice and didn't really document her problems, etc. During 7th grade, this school was awesome, however, she was traumatized in November by our CONDUCT DISORDER son (her biological brother) and went downhill from there. By the end of the school year, she was acting out horribly and got herself kicked out as some teachers were just tired of dealing with her. Now we have no choice but to go to our home school and we are waiting on an ARD in June where the school she left has to fight for her (and us) to get her into a behavioral support class (we're lucky her home school offers it) for 8th grade. She also recently got an OHI label. We have lots of fancy therapeutics schools in my city but we can't afford them. I hope this helps. Good Luck to you...my best advice is if you live in or near a large public school district, call the District Offices yourself and tell them you're looking for an alternative solution for your special needs child. They [I][U]should[/U][/I] help you. If your child is zoned to them, they have to help you. [/QUOTE]
