[quote=Anonymous]My kids was the behavioral kid that the classroom was cleared for.  He did not belong in an inclusion environment.  He is now in a therapeutic school and doing great.  Inclusion is not for everyone.  She’s not wrong about what goes on in the classroom.

I was very involved with the school to get my kid his placement.  I worked from home and had the ability to pick my kid up from school when needed.  By the end, it was daily.

I have the income to pay for a private neuropsych and multiple therapies a week.  I had the flexibility at work and insurance that when his behavior got so bad, I was able to put him at Shephard Pratt.  After his discharge the wheels of the IEP machine still turn slowly.

My point is I didn’t have my head in the sand.  I wasn’t in denial about what needed to happen at school.  I was doing everything I could to help my kid be successful at school and in life and yet it took 18mo to get my kid in the right environment.  I can only imagine how hard it is to get kids that need the help into the right environment if a parent is in denial and is not willing to work with the school.

All kids deserve an education.  When the classroom is cleared to often the kids that have to leave have their learning experience disrupted and the kid that is having the meltdown is losing their self confidence, self esteem, and they certainly are not accessing the curriculum.[/quote]
