[quote=Anonymous][quote=theflash1985][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore Lab school could be a good fit in terms of dealing with his challenges. What is currently in his IEP? If there are documented incidents of him kicking staff and eloping, no matter how great a kid he is when he’s better regulated, no mainstream private school is going to touch that unfortunately. That’s just facts. You might have luck with a parochial school that needs more students , but they aren’t going to provide OT or outdoor/ hands on learning [/quote]

So McLean, Diener and other ADHD schools [b]only want perfect little "emotionally mature" 5 year olds[/b]? That is [b]so not fair.[/b] My son will be denied from all private and have to suffer from incompetent public school IEP teams.

They kept him in the principal’s office for six hours last week instead of helping him. (My advocate is coming to IEP meeting this coming Friday to discuss this disgusting event) The behaviors come from that lack of support, not who he is. I just want him somewhere that actually implements accommodations instead of punishing him for needing them.[/quote]

No, but they want students who don't elope or assault staff. Your son won't be denied from all private schools, but there are not a lot of schools that will accept a child with that kind of history, especially mid-year when they've already done their admissions cycle. You need to open your eyes about exactly what you're looking for, not blame the school and convince yourself the eloping and assaut won't continue if you switch. It may, and you need a school that, as you say, won't kick him out for it.

Real talk: stop with the "so not fair". You've come here because you want the expertise of other SN parents. It's not a competition, but try to keep the perspective that many of us are dealing with this much and more. Life's not fair and as soon as you realize that, the better off you'll be. Is it fair that you can afford an advocate when others can't? Is it fair that you can afford SN if you have to, when others can't? No, it's not. Life's not fair.[/quote]
