[QUOTE="jcox, post: 293663, member: 6583"] I am anxious for school starting too. E will be in 1st grade this year. Last year he was in Kindergarten at the age of 6. When he was 5 I was told by the school, his pediatrician, his counselors, and his preschool teacher that he would be better off having an extra year of preschool and starting a year later. I am sad to say that I don't know what good that did for him except give him another year to learn more because his preschool teacher has taught him more than his kindergarten SPED teacher did. He raged often at school last year which led to many trips to the office, 5 suspensions, being sent home early, etc. Finally they put him in a substantially seperate classroom for children with Emotional Disturbance where he did better or atleast they dealt with him a little better. They had a time out area in the classroom and the SPED teacher and class aides are restraint trained. There were also less children so that meant less stimulation. He has always gotten easily overstimulated which leads to some of his rages... although some come on for no appearant reason. It sounds like your school district is willing to work with you. They would not give E an IEP until he got suspended and I demanded one in October. [/QUOTE]
