[QUOTE="jal, post: 349500, member: 3477"] Hi Mandy, My son was placed in an alternative placement at the beginning of first grade. He is now in second grade and still there (he's 7), but has begun transitioning into mainstream classes, recess and lunch. It has been very good for him for the most part. His placement is in a wing of a mainstream school, so once he began to prove he could be safe in class they transitioned him to having some classes with the mainstream kids, which he is doing very well at. It was a heart breaking decision to send him, but it has been for the best. His reading blossomed shortly after he begun and we've found he's somewhat gifted in math. He receives group and individual therapy. He gets Occupational Therapist (OT) and they are currently doing a speech evaluation. We have had him tested for everything under the sun and he is currently ADHD/combined type, Mood not otherwise specified. He does not respond to stims and we have been at this since he was about 3. husband and I for the most part have been very please with the structure of the class and the interaction from staff. Luckily, our whole process has been very pleasant and stress free. difficult child also gets ESY (extended school year) which gives him an extra 5 weeks in the classroom during the summertime. If you have specific questions and want to, please feel free to PM me. Never thought I'd have to be there (alternative placement), but it has been good. [/QUOTE]
