They also have a daycare in downtown SS, MD.

OP here
Not trying to come off negative but unfortunately he was kicked out of MCC and he went to Easter seals daycare in SS and took him out because they were so inflexible.

I mentioned he is 2e because its been difficult to find a good fit. He ver sensitive, throws tantrums like a 3 year old, but intellculty he is way way ahead. When people fitst meet him they think were nuts to call him special needs, until they watch him play and/or he doesn't get his way. Then we are often told he's not a good fit. So frusterating there aren't more Sevices for kids like him.

OP again
He was rejected because he threw his Legos at the teacher when he was asked to put them away. There was very understanding that it was 5:30
And he was exhaughsted and hungry. First they told they did have kids his age in the program. After he flipped out of the teacher, I was told he's too young and they were concerned about his "violence".

"Inflexible" is code for "my kid hit the crap out of some teacher."

I'm pretty sure I've seen your posts before. Guess you still haven't taken any responsibility.

Yup I'm post a lot. Things have been pretty awful and now I have to stop working in a brand new job.

Why take the time to be hurtful and judgmental when can choose to say nothing. I don't get it. Does it give pleasure to kick someone when their down?

No and I feel for you and your son but you keep doing stuff like blaming daycare for being "inflexible" when the problem is your kid. No daycare is going to put up with that, sorry. When you seem ready to take responsibility got some of it maybe you will get more sympathy.

OP, you get that it doesn't matter at this point if he's gifted intellectually. He needs to be somewhere that focuses on communicating verbally and self regulating. There are lots of places that can address this:

Check out Frost, Lourie, Kennedy Krieger in MoCo, Ivymount etc.:

I teach in an inclusion classroom in MCPS. If I was hurt by a student like your son, the County would pay my medical bills. I'd be unwilling to take a babysitting job for your son due to worry I'd need to sue you if I was injured.

Your son needs a therapeutic environment this summer.

He's almost kindergarten age. You have time to help him modulate his responses to anger/frustration before he is placed by MCPS in a program for ED.

[Anonymous]

I would call one of the MCPS ED programs and ask which daycares have worked for their students.

Otherwise, you are just going to have to pay whatever the cost for a special needs nanny just to get through the summer, even if it means paying out more than you are making. I would not quit your job just over summer care.

I have a very difficult child with autism so I totally get not being able to find daycare that works.

OP again okay please enlighten me. Please let me where I'm not taking responsibility.

1) He was born at a 1lb 1ounce and was in the NICU for 3 1/2 months. I came ever day. (Due to severe preclampcia)

2) since that time he has been tested and received treatment from OTs , PTs special education, sensory integration, feeding specialist, developmental psychologists, and even a psychiatrists.

3) during these evaluations and treatment we have been given numerous tools to try to get him to stop hitting; in addition at 3 different methods of time-out and 2 types of reward charters, since he was 2 years old we were told he was acting this way because: he didn't have the language to ask for what he needed, he was over stimulated, it was due to his infantile anorexia, "he a little guy so he gets warn out," he needs more sleep, he cant identify he's his emotions, and my personal favorite "he'll grow out of it."

3) his sensory integration is better, he's very articulate, and excellent at identifying his emotion, but doesn't know when he is hungry, but is growing. Through all of this he has become violent.

4)Now that none of the tools we were given have worked for any extended period of time, he has started to see a play therapist and we have scheduled a neuropsychological examine for next week.

Please in what way am I not taking responsibility for my son. If you have an idea that we haven't tried, I'm open, because his teachers, therapists,and my husband and I are fresh out of ideas.

Btw I say the Easter seals was inflexible because they refused to move his cot next to the wall instead between two kids. He wasn't hitting teachers back then he was only 2.

So he actually grew INTO hitting teachers, not out of it. Really helping your cause here.

OP a number of years back, my son was very difficult. I had him at the Colesville Child Center. They did an excellent job with him and a few other kids who had some behavioral problems. I don't know if they still accept kids with behavior problems but you might want to call them. I have a feeling, however, that it is going to be out of your way.

And do they know that he is coming? The special ed team leader should have the whole summer to put together the best possible situation for your son. That might mean letting the principal know that a particular teacher should be assigned kindergarten or that additional paraprofessional staff need to be hired. The school may need to make a safety plan for clearing the room quickly if your son becomes violent. We're not allowed to restrain a child having a violent tantrum, but we can usher the other children to a neighboring classroom and keep potentially hurtful items (blocks, safety scissors) locked up if we know what could happen.

Good luck, OP.
