[quote=Anonymous]Since most of the commenters here seem to advice against an ED class, I wanted to share our experience (although not in MCPS). My son was moved to an ED classroom for behavior problems. He does not have HFA, but I think some of his classmates may. The experience has been wonderful. The program itself is great, with a number of knowledgeable, caring, professional teachers and staff. Some students are partially mainstreamed. I have seen some students return to full time mainstreaming. In a regular class, my son would not learn, because he'd be spending the better part of the day walking the hallways or in the principal's office. In the ED class, he gets the attention he needs, and if he does need to go to the support room for a bit, the teacher can catch him up individually later. He's on grade level, and follows the same curriculum as other children in his grade. I know we are lucky, since other programs aren't run as well as the one he is in. [/quote]
