[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the support. I contacted our educational advocate who will be reaching out to her contacts in the central office. We are not looking for a private placement, rather a self-contained classroom. Our advocate stated that the emotional disabilities program may be a good fit. It is just this process of collecting data and the school requesting that we consider half days so that they can continue collecting data with a reduced likelihood of DS having an explosive episode. This puzzles me because how would that data be valid to represent his behavior in a general education setting for the duration of a school day.

DS does not have these explosive episodes at home. One thing to note is that due to his suicidal actions, we have taken to two ERs (including Children's) for an emergency evaluation and all we got was we are doing everything we can possibly do and that most folks who go to the ER for psychiatrics issues do all the resources we are able to provide for DS.[/quote]

Did you get a DMDD dx? If so look into the Williams protocol.  It worked miracles for us after traditional drug regimens did nothing.  We went to the hospital also and got nowhere.  Even did a PHP (useless except for getting the DMDD dx).  I don't know why you don't want a private placement.  There are better options in private.  [/quote]
