[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Diener and Auburn will take children with behaviors like yours if they feel those behaviors would go away with proper supports. There are many kids who have issues with noise, large class size or unpredictable schedules and those things are more fixed in a place like Diener or Auburn. I wouldn't give up on those schools OP.[/quote]

Diener will not deal with a child who throws things.  Diener might admit the student but I would go in knowing that Diener may push the child out if their supports are insufficient to change the behavior in the short term.  [/quote]

Are you kidding? We've been pretty shocked by some of the stuff that goes on at Diener. [/quote]

We’ve been there 4 years and I don’t know anyone who has thrown things, but who knows. I have no idea how you would know. If your kid is reporting it, grain of salt. [/quote]

My child has reported things, and I've spoken to teachers and administrators about it. No one argued with my child's reporting. Lots of talk about how they were working on "unexpected behaviors" in the classroom. I'm really glad that I listened to my child. [/quote]

I am not saying that there have not been students who throw things at Diener, it is that Diener likely will not keep that student if it persists (especially if the behavior may endanger student or others).  For the OP, I was only trying to point out that Diener would likely give a finite period for the unexpected behaviors to be resolved.[/quote]

We have heard the same. It's not that they give a timeframe or deadline but they will take a student who has throwing behaviors for example if they guess that a strong behavior plan and instruction on managing emotions can help. Sometimes it's as simple as talking to the current teachers or reviewing data and seeing mistakes made by the public school and seeing how things can be fixed. I think in most cases they are able to make it work because that's what they do. I'm sure there are cases that do not work out because children can be very complex but that doesn't mean OP should rule it out. Her child is quite young and I can imagine a Diener admissions person thinking this is a child they could help. [/quote]
