[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 50230, member: 2423"] In general, smaller settings are better for difficult children because they get the individual attention they so desperately need. Having said that, my son is in a small private school because we felt the public middle school was too large and he would fall through the cracks there (plus he was deemed ineligible for an IEP, which is another story altogether). In his school, there is a learning specialist and difficult child 1 receives certain accommodations (extended time, class notes), but in every other way he is treated like every other student, which means no reduced homework and no late work (the two accommodations he really needs). All extra help (inside and outside of school) must be provided by us. You say you are uncomfortable with the Charter School, but have you gone to visit it? If you see it, you might get a better feel for whether it's the right setting for difficult child or not. [/QUOTE]
