[quote=Anonymous]There are good suggestions here--childfind and other preschools. My best friend went through this (in another state)--moved from typical preschool to an inclusion, small preschool and the difference was enormous.

When we were told that our son was not a 'good fit' for our daycare, we ended up having a nanny for a year and it definitely helped. Group care was too much for our son, who couldn't handle both the stimulation and didn't know how to get his needs met except through hitting, screaming and biting. I'd say a 60 percent improvement once removed from group care, and then another 20 percent through behavioral modification (ours really), working with a dev. ped. and a nanny willing to work hard with us. Plus maturity.  almost 2 years later and he's doing great in school--for the first couple weeks I kept waiting for "the call." it hasn't happened. No biting, no hitting, no aggression. He loves schoo, has friends and charms the teachers. He still has meltdowns and difficulty staying on the rug, etc, but teachers have been helping him with those.

Good luck to you. It is so disheartening, scary, exhausting when you feel like you don't know how to address your child's needs, when this behavior seems to have no cause, and when you feel like others (preschool) have given up on your kid. But plenty of kids get kicked out of preschool or daycare--often times it ends up being for the best, once you can find the right situation.  Until then, try not to despair. I think our son picked up so much on our anxiety and on the teachers' reaction to him.....
