Again, AAP is not meant to be a program specifically for children with learning disabilities, although they may be included in AAP. Did you see the post linked below from another thread (first post on page, posted at 12:31)? Not a single "behavior problem" child in the group. If there is ADHD in the group, it may be of an inattentive type (child being unfocused and disorganized), so the parent who posted may not be aware of it. Of course if children were of equal abilities, except the ones with behavior problems as their only difference got better opportunities for higher level learning, no one would think that was okay. I do not see anything at all to indicate that this is the case. If anything the selection process favors the well behaved child.

It sounds like you already appealed for your child. Did you submit a WISC? I wonder if you may have conveyed frustration with the AAP selection process like in your posts here? I mean this in a helpful way. If you included a lot of verbiage with the appeal that was negative and critical about the AAP selection process, that may not have helped your child's chances. You should be able to do a parent referral this year. I saw on another thread that the deadline seems to have been extended to February 7. Best wishes to you and your child.[/quote]

OK whatever, so be it, you all are relentlessly "entitled".  However, based on my parental observations, it is very clear the majority of the children in the AAP program have behavior problems and cannot function in the standard classroom environment or socially for that matter.  Honestly it is probably best for these students to be at a separate school for their benefit but in an advanced academic program, NO.[/quote]
