[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it makes sense to try and make public work for you before you shell out for private school. [/quote]

The danger with starting with public with a kid with anxiety is that it can be overwhelming and anxiety-producing in a way that no IEP can fix. Lots of kids is lots of kids. If you can afford it, I'd start with some place small that will give lots of attention to social/emotional issues, not just academic issues. Whether it needs to be SN or mainstream depends a lot on his specific triggers and how bad the anxiety is.[/quote]

what PP pointed out is exactly what happened when we tried the public charter.  it was too focused on academics in prek3, was too chaotic, and was ultimately an absolute disaster for my DS.  this is why we are considering my DD's small private with most focus on social/emotional issues up to grade 2.  Small ratio of students to teachers.  It likely will work for my DS, but want to think about other schools as well.  the only concern about my DD's school is that they have a small range of "different" learning styles that they can handle and beyond that, they just can't.  hence my worry.  probably fine for K and 1st, but not sure after that...[/quote]

Was the "therapeutic" public charter you tried Bridges?  If Bridges did not work out then you really are in denial.

Are you sure your DD's private will take him?[/quote]
