[quote=Anonymous]OP how old is your child and what is his diagnosis?  There are other programs that may be appropriate depending on diagnosis, if any.  For example, Autism Resource Program, Aspergers Program, GTLD.

What can really help anxiety is backing off on demands.  The school should be doing that--you may have to ask where they can back off--you will see your child relax.  Perhaps your IEP needs to be modified with extended time, shortened assignments or reduced work requirements, breaks, flash passes for when student is overwhelmed, behavior charts /sticker charts, behavior contracts, time with the counselor, etc.  You might consult a good special education advocate.  They aren't cheap but they can help you get the most out of your IEP and help identify the best placement (which might be where your son is right now) with the best support plan.  Michelle Davis comes to mind as an advocate, as she seems to have experience with students with problem behaviors. I've seen her speak and have looked through her book but have not worked with her.  But there are dozens of such advocates in the area.  [/quote]
