[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 510255, member: 11791"] Love that smiley... 'cause it's the SD's cheque book that had better get ready...! JMO... and it would probably take too long, but we can dream, right? The SD needs a NEW school with a NEW program. Just for Q. Well, not quite. You see, there is a way to do this so that it works for everybody... This new program would have to be in a separate building, somewhere. There would only be two kinds of students. 1) First would be the kids like Q - high-needs, complex, kids who have "thinking" and "behaving" challenges but NOT "behavior problems" (Know what I mean??) Very high adult-student ratios, sensory room, all that kind of stuff. 2) The rest of the school - probably several classroom's worth - would be next-to-NT kids with specific but severe learning problems, who need an intensive boost. These kids might come to this school for 6 months, or maybe a year or two, but the purpose is to turn them around, build up their skills, identify and implement accommodations and interventions, and send them back. Behavior problems will NOT be tolerated. Then... you have built-in role models of "good citizens" who can interact with the high-needs kids, a school where everybody needs help so no stigma for any of them... a place to get as good as you can. I'm not a Special Education teacher. I don't know what all you would need for programs, staffing, etc. But... you need a different model for a school, and it needs to be a school "just for kids like Q"... [/QUOTE]
