[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has been having significant behavioral issues in their private pre-K 4 program, most troublingly violent outbursts.  I have referred them for an IEP evalulation through our school district by have not yet signed the consent form.  (They will be attending K at a public school next year.) They had started to do better, but last week was awful.  Academically, they are fine and socially, they have several friends at school and seems well-liked by the other children. But they obviously have a serious issue with emotional regulation and impulse control, and neither private therapy nor lots of work and practice at home seems to be helping.  If they are found eligible for an IEP, what can I expect?  [b]My ideal would be a mainstream classroom with an aide but I don't know how realistic that is.[/b]  My big concern is that by having him evaluated, he'll be placed in a self-contained class next year, which would be okay if that's ultimately what he needs, but I'd like to give him a chance in a mainstream kindergarten classroom first, especially since right now his psychologist things some of his problems may be due to immaturity and a poor fit with his current school.[/quote]

Yeah, that’s not happening out of the gate. There will need to be a long pattern of not having success in a regular public school classroom before something this expensive, and understaffed, is even considered.[/quote]
