[QUOTE="daralex, post: 210486, member: 4467"] Hi Jennifer, We moved here purposely because of the schools (They are great, no question, but do not accomodate her particular needs). The problem is that their idea of Special Education is what's called an inclusion class. It's about 15 kids a teacher and a Special Education aide. The problem is the pace of the work is the same as a regular classroom and she cannot absorb that much info into her head at once. The only other classroom situation they offer is the self contained class with children that are very drastically below her level. The alternative school is supposed to deal with learning difficulties as well as emotional problems. they have psychiatrists on hand all day long and will address her emotional difficulties as well as her Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). I just didn't want to push the new school if it is not what I think it is. She does not yet have an iep (She has a 504) as we are in the middle of having her finally classified as Special Education and I would need to push my point at the next classification meeting in December [/QUOTE]
