[QUOTE="oceans, post: 44444, member: 2687"] The right school can make a big difference. My difficult child started at the alternate therapeutic school at the end of March, when he was discharged from the 2nd psychiatric hospital. It is really much better for him there. It is very small with a 1:5 ratio of teachers to students. They have behavioral and psychological support on staff. They really go out of their way to work with the kids at their pace and need. They have a positive point reward system in place so the kids can buy things at a little store they have when they earn enough. They send the point sheet each day so I can see exactly how he has done, and I sign it and fill out how the evening and morning went...then it goes back in. If something is wrong they call the psychiatrist to let him know, and they will be working to transition him back to the regular school next fall. He will be going there on a part time bases and they will moniter him to see how he makes out. I can't say enough good things about this school, and feel that difficult child should have been there years ago. Check out the one they want to send him to. You should be able to have a meeting to see what it is like. You should get a feel for if it is the right place for him. Good luck!!! [/QUOTE]
