[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one wants kids with emotional problems (and what you really mean is behavioral problems) at their kids' school. That's why it's so hard to find a school for those kids, as previous posters have described.

I think the phrase "unmanaged emotional problems" is a bit...judgmental. I've read many times on here about desperate parents being turned away from hospitals, therapists, schools who don't/can't/won't help them.[/quote]

That's an understatement. They don't really want to deal with kids in wheelchairs or who can't be toilet trained either but there are laws in place. Eventually behavioral delays will be understood in the same way as speech delays. [/quote]

I think they're understood, many teachers and schools just don't want to deal with them. And yet they're the ones who most need a school experience catered to their needs.

Sometimes you can find the best fit at a regular/non special preschool that is inclusive and has willing teachers.
I always found the 'special ed hierarchy'/aka 'I don't want YOUR kid with x issues near my kid' that goes on at schools and even Extra activities like sports. Sometimes regular programs (with an aid) are more inclusive.

Remember to look in DC too. Look for play based schools, not little school sitting down at age 3 sweatshops.
I'm not sure I'd try Outdoor Nursery School because it's in a rich area and they don't seem to tolerate differences (our kid was kicked out of there in seconds...).
