[quote=Anonymous]Define “success”. Do you mean noticeable improvement? Zero issues? Environment can be critical. Many kids do much better with tiny class sizes, environments with less stimulation (facing their desk against a blank wall, in a quiet room, for example, for some tasks), hands on, active assignments, and frequent opportunities for physical activity (such as sports). Doing this means optimizing an environment for the kid, while reducing the kinds of factors and interactions associated with behavioral issues for that particular child. The ideal plan would involve working on the behavioral concerns and eventually returning the kid to a mainstream environment. So, progress is possible, but there are huge pluses and minuses that go along with decisions like these. [/quote]
