[quote=Anonymous][quote]But since my child does have SN and a history of distruptive behavior I was pretty sure I'd get torn to shreds on the private forum. I recall a really ugly thread there about "quirky" children.[/quote]

Ok, so I think there's a few things to consider.  My son has HFA and goes to a very small mainstream private school in NOVA.  However, he generally does not have disruptive behaviors.  I think that is a key issue that you are going to have to consider and speak with schools about.  A mainstream private school can certainly accommodates some special needs - for example, my son does different activities for PE on some occasions than his classmates, when the activity that the rest of the class is doing would be over stimulating for him.  However, certain disruptive behaviors such as hitting, interrupting a lesson, being disruptive, would not be tolerated at his school if they occurred repeatedly and continuously.  The other thing to consider is, even if your child's educational needs can be accommodated in a mainstream school, will he be socially happy?  Since our school is fairly small and kind and kids have to interact with DS, he's not excluded, but I often think about whether he might have more actual friends (he has no close friends) in a different environment with more kids like him.  These are important things to think about, and I have no idea what conclusions you will come to in your particular circumstances.[/quote]
