[quote=Anonymous][quote=theflash1985][quote=Anonymous][quote=theflash1985][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore Lab school could be a good fit in terms of dealing with his challenges. What is currently in his IEP? If there are documented incidents of him kicking staff and eloping, no matter how great a kid he is when he’s better regulated, no mainstream private school is going to touch that unfortunately. That’s just facts. You might have luck with a parochial school that needs more students , but they aren’t going to provide OT or outdoor/ hands on learning [/quote]

So McLean, Diener and other ADHD schools only want perfect little "emotionally mature" 5 year olds? That is so not fair. My son will be denied from all private and have to suffer from incompetent public school IEP teams.

They kept him in the principal’s office for six hours last week instead of helping him. (My advocate is coming to IEP meeting this coming Friday to discuss this disgusting event) The behaviors come from that lack of support, not who he is. I just want him somewhere that actually implements accommodations instead of punishing him for needing them.[/quote]
I said mainstream privates , not privates that focus specifically on ADHd kids. I’m not familiar with those schools because I’m in Baltimore. And declining to admit a child who has documented episodes of physically assaulting staff- which is unfortunately what kicking the staff is- is not unreasonable and does not mean a school “only wants perfect emotionally mature 5 year olds”. You’d do your son a favor to drop the argumentative tone with people who are trying to be friendly and help you. [/quote]

I’m not arguing, just frustrated that so many schools don’t actually support SN kids the way they should. If your child doesn’t struggle with aggression, it can be hard to understand what it’s really like. A 5-year-old has very little control when they’re dysregulated — the hitting or kicking isn’t intentional, it’s a stress response. My son is lucky to have parents like us not doing him a disservice at all - most other SN parents I've seen at the school just send the kids to school and don't even know who the Case Manager is or if services have started.[/quote]

Are you for real? Do you think parents of other special needs students will want to help you when you’re insulting us and implying that we send our SN kids to school not caring what happens to them there?[/quote]
