[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find out what schools they are recommending before you agree to change the placement from public special ed to private day. They will push back because it sounds like they want to get rid of home but be 100% firm that you aren’t agreeing to a more restrictive placement until you have toured what they are offering.

I would try to figure out what is going on at school to drive the outbursts, what does your son say? Is there a certain staff member who is usually involved in the situation? [/quote]

DS's outbursts are almost always motivated by an instance of perceived unfairness.  The last one could have been prevented if someone had walked him through the implications of a decision he was making -- he was doing something very good but he didn't understand that by making the choice to work on one thing, he would loose the opportunity to participate in something else due to limited time.  Then when he was ready to move on to the second thing and was told that time was up, he lost it.  To me it would be second nature to walk him through the implications of a decision because it's predictable what would happen and pretty shocking to me that this is somehow new considering they claim to have ~15% of the student body with ASD.
