[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 401476, member: 1169"] Tigger is in an ED room right now (middle of 4th grade through 6th grade now). It was the best decision we made. I am hoping that he has learned enough skills that we can move him to the Learning Disability (LD)/EMH room for 7th grade but the ED room was critical to providing a safe environment for him at school. That being said, the 3 months he was there in 4th grade were horrible. The teacher was awful. The admins almost as bas as the teacher. Luckily, the higher ups saw what was happening and fixed it (all while praying that I didn't sue them - that's how bad it was). A new teacher (with 17 years experience in ED rooms) and the place became the wonderful room he is in now. If you are considering an ED room placement: 1. Go observe the classroom. 2. Ask the teacher how she would handle your difficult child's top problems at school. 3. Ask how often are children restrained and for what reasons; how often are children suspended and for what reasons. 4. How many kids, what grades, and how many aides 5. Speaking with the social worker - how often is she in the room. how many other classes does she supervise/work with? is she available during a crisis? 6. How are academics handled? Are there any other students at your difficult child's academic level? 7. What are the opportunities for mainstreaming? what type of support is provided during those times? Follow your mommy gut!
