[QUOTE="1905, post: 68185, member: 2668"] Hi, I don't know the specific answer, if there or isn't. I do know that I work in a mainstream school and our classroom is similar to what you might be looking for. the kids are not on medication. Each childs' work is specificly for them, on their pace and level, and constantly is fine-tuned so they're working on what they need to be working on. Also, we have been trained to use Non-Violent Crisis Internention, which we use every day and even at every activity. One of us will leave the room with the child,and then finish the activity when the child has calmed down. We start back up where the child has last been succesful. When these meltdowns occur, the child doesn't earn their reward for that acticity, but they can try again on the next activity. A reward is what they work for- time spent playing with Legos, or drawing,or taking a walk. I think you should look within your school district for a classroom that you want. If there is nothing, is there a school just for Special Education? Maybe they have a classroom there. It's the teacher that will make sure the child is succesful all day-that's the main goal. Also we have behavior classes that are for higher functioning kids, whose meltdowns aren't as servere -kids that need a behavior plan all day. These classes are fabulous.
