[QUOTE="--Eleanor--, post: 80373, member: 3620"] Update: I wrote earlier in this thread that I had serious reservations about starting my son in a self-contained classroom this fall. So far, though, it has been really excellent for him. We had focused on keeping him mainstreamed as much as possible through 1st grade, but unfortunately, that meant part mainstream and part of his time spent in a resource-room type of setting which was designed for kids that were behind academically. His problem has never been academics--it is more with behavior and impulse control. Where he is now, he is the youngest kid, and has the opportunity to work at higher grade levels on academics, which seems to keep him interested and lessen him acting out from boredom. More behavioral supports in the classroom as well. And he is mainstreamed for science, music and PE. Plus, for the first time since he was in preschool, a teacher who likes him and wants him there! I think the last is the biggest plus. Crossing fingers that all continues to go well... [/QUOTE]
