[QUOTE="jal, post: 489250, member: 3477"] I am a parent that agreed to an alternative placement for my difficult child in first grade and it has been successful. He is now in 4th grade and is on track to transition back to his mainstream school next month. He has worked very hard & come such a long way. The placement was the best for thing for him. Our SD has been wonderful and supportive. Everything we asked for they gave us, we'vve never had to fight. We were lucky. It is an awful feeling to have to place your child in an alternative program. husband and I cried after we toured the class. His program is in a wing of a mainstream school. Since last year he has been doing inclusion with the mainstram class and continues to this day, taking more and more subjects with the class. I recently enrolled him in the after care program at the school he should actually be in and he's doing very well. One child commented to the teacher that they remembered difficult child from earlier years and that he is so different from the way he was. I would want to know who is on staff, (teacher, psychologist, etc) Have they been properly trained in restraint. How will they collect data on difficult child's behavior? What behavior model do they follow? Boys Town, etc. How academics will be handled? How is the class taught if there are different ages in the class? Will there be a para or multiple aides in the classroom? Academics was a worry for me too. Our difficult child excells at math. He has a high IQ and no Learning Disability (LD)'s, behavior and impluse has always been the issue. But he is on par with the mainstream kids in his grade terms of testing. difficult child's placement has a room. Not an isolation room, but it could be, yet that's not how its used. But if a child is raging and is a danger to himself or others there needs to be a safe place for them to cool down. Its hard to have to do this, but if the program is a good one it can be successful.
