[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thank you all for your input.  My son is exhibiting behavior very similar to 8:28's child.  The school is telling us that it is disrupting the other students.  He's also gotten a bit disrespectful to teachers.  I know it is a response to his anxiety about having to do work as we have slowly tried to out demands back on him.  We do not have an ED school in our MCPS cluster.  If we did look at one on another cluster, would he then proceed with the same kids to middle school?  We only have one year left of elementary.  I'm worried that an ED program would not give him any social continuity, although I realize that may be secondary to academics.  [/quote]

If he switched into an ED program for 5th I think the special ed supervisors for the district would try to help your child have some social continuity as you called it for MS. They consider this critical to a child being able to do well and I know they have gotten COSAs for children to remain at their school even after they leave the ED program and even if that school is overcrowded already. I don't know of a specific case involving a transition to MS but I would think the same philosophy applies. It's also possible you may want your child to continue in a program while in MS and he might have some classmates from the program go with him.[/quote]
