[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]KTS pre-K would also help with that.  They also say they don't accept "behavior" issues, but by that they mean acting out physically.  They're able to help kids learn emotional regulation.

If your child gets help with this self-regulation, he won't be regarded as a "behavior" issue forever.  It should a soluble problem with the right time and help invested in it.  My advice would to enroll in a pre-K that helps kids with this, with the aim of getting your child to the point where you don't have to describe them as having a behavior issue when you are going for your later academic destination.

Thank you.  You told me exactly what I'm trying to figure out.  When schools say they don't accept "behavior" issues do they mean hitting, kicking, biting or do they mean they can't handle my kid screaming and crying like a 2 yr old for 10 min?  We've come so far in 6 months.  It used to be that he was completely inconsolable for hours.  Now, you can ignore him for 10 min, let him settle down a bit, give him a brief hug (adult intervention) and he's back playing with the other children.  Now obviously, the goal is for him not to lose control or to be able to walk away from an upsetting situation, but that's going to take time--and perhaps some explicit guidance from a school that knows how to teach emotional regulation.

So far, Kingsbury and KTS have been suggested.  Any thoughts on Lourie for this type of help?  I was also reading on Maddux's website that they say they help with self regulation issues.  Any thoughts on that school for this issue?[/quote]
