[quote=Anonymous]We are in the western end of Prince William County, so maybe this is a long shot, but is anyone familiar with placement options at private day schools for a middle schooler with HFA, dyslexia, and emotional disability?  DS is on grade level and on a diploma track but has significant issues with flexible thinking and behavioral outbursts.  He's at a public school for kids with ED -- Pace West -- but he continues to have verbal outbursts that are being escalated rather than de-escalated and a couple of times he's taken a swing at a teacher.  The other professionals are a little surprised that the school hasn't been better able to handle this, but we all have the sense the school just wants DS out.  My DH had a meeting with county resources today and they brought up placement at a private day school but I don't know what those options are.  I've started reaching out to get a special education advocate, but I'm just hoping to maybe stop worrying quite as much in the meantime if I have some idea of the options going forward.
