[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We actually need more schools for children with behavioral issues and more intensive special needs, but who will receive a diploma. There is an abundance of options if your child is gifted or on grade level. And for behavior, I’m talking issues like being disruptive not aggressive. There is only one private option I am aware of and it’s not great. No options really for kids with low average iqs, learning issues, and behaviors and many, many, many kids in that boat. [/quote]there is not an abundance of options if your child is gifted. Please share their names if I am wrong. [/quote]

For a grade-level or advanced kid with autism and no behavioral issues?  Maybe not an "abundance" of options, but MANY more options than kids with behavioral issues.  Almost all of the SN privates discussed on here (Siena, Diener, Auburn, McClean, Lab, Commonwealth) will not take a kid with behavioral issues.  And[b] summer camps[/b]? Forget about it.  For understandable reasons, they treat behavioral issues as the third rail.  [/quote]

Ha ha!  My kid is in non public placement for his ASD.  I put the money that I would have to spend on private to his summer camp.[/quote]

Does your child have behavioral issues? My point is that there are many camp options for SN kids with no "behaviors."  [/quote]

Yes. My kid has significant behaviors.  I agree with you, there are lots of SN camps for kids without behaviors.  However, the ones that can support kids with behaviors are few and far between and cost a small fortune.  My kids summer camp is roughly $20K between tuition, flights, visiting day, hotels, and car rental.  My point is that thank goodness he is in non public placement so I can use the money that I would have to spend on school for summer camp.[/quote]

Sleep away?  We need to start a separate thread ... [/quote]

Yep, sleep away.  Happy to answer any questions if you want to start a new thread.[/quote]
