[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 60999, member: 45"] We are reluctantly agreeing with the school to have our difficult child start out 6th grade in a self-contained classroom. He's made it through in mainstream classes up until this point, although with a number of suspensions and soooo many times we had to go pick him up from school. In our case it was the switch to middle school and all those transitions that helped us make our decision. We just don't think difficult child will be able to handle it without a one-on-one aide which the school says he doesn't qualify for. I think the intent of most of these self-contained classrooms is to work on mainstreaming. My difficult child will start out in mainstream band class, and will slowly be moved into the other classes. I like this idea, although my difficult child does mimic as well so I'm hoping the other kids in his class don't have that much of a negative effect on him. He's had so much trouble in his regular class with the other kids this past year, that I don't think it can be much worse. [/QUOTE]
