[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is really severe and you live in MoCo, you might want to visit your public school that offers services for emotional disability support. A friend with a severely ADHD child has found it to be very good for her child. And they can't kick her child out. http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/special-education/programs-services/behavior-and-emotional-support.aspx[/quote]

I have heard other people say this. We are in ACPS and do not have this option. I have been told by my son's current teacher to actively avoid the ED class, as it is self contained.[/quote]

I don't understand your concern for 2 reasons, first you are considering putting him in a special school that is effectively self contained and secondly, if your child has issues that are severe enough that you are worried he may be expelled from a school specifically catering to children with learning and emotional troubles then you need to consider how he can best learn and grow. A regular classroom teacher with a normal size class might not be good for him. He needs special teachers with special training and being in a group with other kids with the same struggles helps relieve the anxiety from the stigma of being the only kids who can't sit still, keep hands to self, etc.[/quote]

The other children in self contained classrooms in ACPS have severe ID, and severe aggression problems according to the team that has advised me. Its not even on the table for him. The options are public with an IEP, but he will not get speech or OT, or a private like Maddux or Newton.[/quote]

Also - please don't derail like this. I have researched the issue and thought it through and talked to his IEP team. At this point in time, there is no self contained classroom available to him in our school district. I guess we could move, but right now, that is not what we are considering. [/quote]
