[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again - this last post is so helpful.  The advice we were given by our psychiatrist on the SESES program is that it includes kids with really extreme forms of aggression or social emotional needs and therefore means we'd be putting our DS in a classroom with other extreme kids.  Wouldn't it be better to keep him in a mainstream classroom and give him the social emotional resources needed to succeed?[/quote]

I think you need to visit one of these programs. There was one at DC's school and the kids were regular normal kids and did not have crazy behaviors. At worst they were melting down sometimes and might throw something occasionally. Sounds like your kid, right OP? Most of them were fully mainstreamed again after a year or two. DS had a good friend in the program and we had no idea he was in the program until his parent brought it up. We did not see any of the behaviors when his friend came over. The friend was in his class, a regular gen ed class, but would have help if he needed to leave to regroup. It was not a big thing when he left the classroom sometimes as kids who were not in the program sometimes came and went too. I was really impressed with how it was run.
