[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lab does not take kids with this profile.  You should look at Kingsbury but even they won't deal with these issues unless you put him on medication.  If you look at Maddux, you want to be sure he won't stick out and or it will be hard for him to make friends, which will be stressful for him and you.[/quote]

Okay. I feel like this is a little disparaging, honestly. I can't stand this board when people feel the need to rank special needs. Not quite sure why this is so much worse than all the other profiles out there, but alright, I guess. [/quote]

I think what PP was getting at, which mirrors my own experience, is that profiles that include significant behavioural elements ARE different.  We all know that some learning differences lead to frustration and acting out, but what you are describing sounds like the impulse control and behavioural stuff are [i]part of [/i]the profile, not [i]a result of[/i] the profile.  And, yes, that can lead to social issues  at some private SN schools.

I know OP is looking for a private option, but she's getting a lot of advice here from parents who have BTDT and for whom private with an IEP was a better option because you can't be counseled out of public school. [/quote]
