[QUOTE="jal, post: 259895, member: 3477"] Oh Nancy...I am sorry it has come to this and you are so upset. I know where you are. We transferred difficult child (6) to a therapeutic school a few months ago. I knw my meeting was going to come to that too. I had tears. husband and I cried the first time we visited the placement, but we knew it had to be done. difficult child has just florished there. He loves going to school. he now is in an environment where he can learn. He's a darn smart kid, but with sensory issues and a large mainstream class he couldn't function. He is now above where he should be in math (he is through addition and subtraction and actually asked to be taught the multiplication table). He has a behavior plan in place, gets group therapy 4 times a week and individual once a week and Occupational Therapist (OT) services. The staff is supportive and great and in conjunction with behavior academically focused. We combine this with in home intensive therapy 2x a week. This is the only placement we have done, so you may be offered some choices to look into and can ask them specifically about the academics portion of it. It was a major concern of mine too since difficult child is just beginning his schooling career. I have been pleased.
