[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is in a self-contained program (MCPS- 9th grade) and we are thinking that he is ready to return to mainstream for next school year. He is frustrated with the behaviors in his classes and really wants this switch (he is only in for behaviors and has no academic goals or needs). We received his quarterly progress notes and he continues to show that he’s meeting his goals (and he’s definitely exceeding his parent’s expectations!) Still, as parents, we are a touch concerned to leave the comfort of the program but also don’t want to hold him back.

So with this in mind, I have a few questions.
1) Who makes the decision that a child is ready to return to mainstream? (CIEP made the placement)
2) What criteria needs to be met to show a child is ready? Do they do testing or just observations?
3) Do you have any advice?

Thank you.[/quote]
I do not know MCPS - but for DCPS they would start transitioning mid year if it was warranted.   Can you child take 1 class this semester outside of the self-contained classroom?  [/quote]
