[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Just got in this morning and saw all your great responses. Really appreciated!

It's good to hear some of the profiles of the schools as it can be hard to tell from their web sites. Obviously I've scoured the archives as well.

Right now she is in a small private pre-k as we wanted to give her an extra year especially as we are trying two kinds of medication and it takes so long for things to stabilize with that.

Her outbursts are short, she can use mindfulness, and short breaks are sometimes not even needed. Because of her profile she does not always want to participate though, and that is disruptive too even if she plays quietly, according to her teacher. Her 1:1 we just hired (partially for our own sanity) and her therapist who came to observe feel that the school has no real clue how to help kids like ours so that is why I posted.

We will likely finish out the year there, though I am already homeschooling her some on my own in the afternoons. But I am really on the fence about next year. My son has anxiety and ADHD-inattentive and while he is flourishing in middle school now, elementary was less than stellar and he had a fantastic IEP. It just wasn't enough in many ways.  And he was a lot more compliant than my littlest. [/quote]
