[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 233167, member: 2287"] 4timmy, my difficult child is now 13. IF ONLY...he'd been able to be in a class like that when he was in elementary it would have solved SO many problems. He was in the principal's office three times a week at least and his self-esteem didn't even exist. At the time I had no idea such a class was available. Now difficult child is in 7th grade, in the social development class of 6 students. He loves it!!! He makes very good grades; all A's and B's, and NEVER gets into trouble anymore. He would freak out if they actually forced him into mainstream, though I look for them to try it. He knows that he gets into trouble in the regular classroom. He's unable to focus long enough to "catch" whatever it is that the teacher is teaching. He is so hungry for "attention" he acts out in class. My point of all this is, you might find out that your difficult child may love it, and you, too! Go visit, meet the teacher(s) and aide and see what you think. It's definitely worth a try! [/QUOTE]
