[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The toilet training is not just a center issue but often a licensing issue.  Past a certain age, especially after 3, its a license issue and they are not approved at that age to deal with it.  With that said, it took us lots of time but we were able to find welcoming schools that our child thrived at.  But, a child with behavioral or emotional issues is a lot for someone not trained to handle when they have to keep a classroom full of kids safe.  OP doesn't appear to have even applied so they need to apply and see what happens.  Given the severity, it does not sound like a good fit and they'd be better off at home for a year with ABA/therapist or in public if not one of the other private schools.[/quote]
 You tell 'em OP! And congrats to your son! 
We applied, we were accepted. Thanks though. I appreciate your superiority and know it all reply it's really in the spirit of an online support network. My child is not risking anyone's safety. He sometimes has a hard time sitting and not being silly. Calm down and get something else to do other than making other parents of kids with special needs feel more inferior than they already do.
