[quote=Anonymous]I regret it. My son is in 3rd grade and attended a Level IV center. My husband and I recently pulled him out of the center and sent him back to his base school, where they are better equipped to handle his autism/ADHD.  (He has an IEP).

The sad part is that he was actually learning a lot at the center, as shown by his performance on tests and quizzes; however, they couldn't handle his challenging behavior in class and they lacked resources/skills to help him be successful.  If you have a twice-exceptional student (gifted, but with disabilities) make sure you really investigate the Center before you make the decision to send your child.  Find out who will be working directly with your child and what their qualifications are.  We thought we had done our homework prior to sending him, but were disappointed in the lack of support available.

From my perspective, AAP is best for highly self-motivated, organized students.  Even if your child is brilliant, if they don't conform to the model of a good student, they probably won't be successful at a center.[/quote]
