[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 105440, member: 2287"] I certainly can't speak for WHERE your difficult child's new school is located, but my difficult child (12) was put into a social development class (in Houston) at the end of last year (5th) due to his behavior. I cried. Now fast forward to middle school this year and he's in a sd class there, too. He loves it and does NOT want to be mainstreamed!! He's in a class with five other boys, a male teacher and one female aide. He's getting one-on-one direction, attention, and his self-esteem has risen. We were reluctantly pushed into this decision, but it has been a wonderful step for our son. He's had only one reprimand which resulted in D-Hall since school started (in fifth grade he was in the principal's office two or three times a week!), and he made three A's and four B's on his report card. The more they talk about "mainstream" the more difficult child resists. Our psychiatrist said if he wasn't ready or WE didn't think he was ready, she'd write a medical letter to prevent it from happening. I just want HIM to feel successful for a change. PM me if you wish. Are you in HCISD? We are in CCISD. [/QUOTE]
