[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 91994, member: 393"] I have to say that the only way kt or wm would be in a school setting of any sort is because of the day treatment setting. For them it's a long term (wm has been in his program almost 3 years now; kt is into her 2nd year at that program). In many ways they've fallen behind their peers academically. And they were already behind their peers because neither of them were learning in the school setting they were assigned anyway. Now, kt & wm are both making strides & catching up academically. Only 3 years behind for wm now versus almost 5 years. kt is 2.8 years behind on average. And this is a huge gain for them in the day treatment setting. Their setting is made up of 6 to a classroom with a teacher & 2 aides. Lots of time for one on one tutoring. Addtionally, 3 hours is therapeutic/life skills training. In my mind, for a child who cannot maintain in the mainstream or even the level 3 or 5 setting, needs a day treatment. It sounds like the program you're looking at is short term & possibly medication management type of setting. [/QUOTE]
