[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 37744, member: 3211"] We have an extended school year program in our county, too. difficult child has participated the last two summers - once in our local school district and one year at a district program 45 minutes away. He too would not qualify if it was an academic program - but it is a social skills program, mainly. For him, they do mix in some academics because he asks for it, but for the most part, they deal with peer issues and behavior. Here, they even go on two trips overnight (2 nights away) camping trips at a local boy scout camp. difficult child loves it (except for the hikes - he said he's not "made to be a hiker" - lol :D). It's been good for our difficult child. The school pays for and busses him to and from - and it keeps the routine up and gives him something constructive to do - with therapy mixed in. We don't have any non-school-tied programs in our area that we could fall back on if the extended year program didn't exist. And, our difficult child would not succeed in a typical kid day program, so this is perfect. As a side note, our school district did not inform us of the existence of the extended year program. [img]:mad:[/img] An independent county agency advised me of the program and I had to fight for it in a CSE meeting and have it included in difficult child's IEP. Our SD is tight fisted on its budget and I could see that they did not want to provide it, but were backed into a corner and had no choice. Check around and see what you can find. Good luck!!
