[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I work at a school with a Comprehensive Services Site (ED center) and a lot of 2e kids do really well with this placement.  They have access to our full time psychologist and social worker just for the CSS, they get the small class sizes and extra support with behavior and managing emotions, and they also still get Level 3 AAP pull outs and access to AAP instruction in mainstream classes when appropriate.  All of our CSS teachers are teamed with a grade level team so their instruction follows the same planning and pacing of mainstream homeroom teachers.  A majority of our upper grade students mainstream for one or more subjects.  And we have had students who were fully mainstreamed by 6th grade (buy who still had access to additional behavioral, social, and emotional supports as needed through the CSS).

I'm not saying this is the right placement for OP's child, but I just wanted to say that a CSS placement can be a great fit for many 2e kids who need lots of support and small class sizes but who also need AAP enrichment.

OP, best of luck to you.  I feel for you and your child and hope you can find the best combo of meds and most supportive placement for your child![/quote]

But aren't the ED classes set up like K-3, 4-5 etc.? If a child can't be mainstreamed into the general ed class, then he is sitting through lessons for K kids, 1st grade kids, etc. That sounds incredibly tedious for a child with GOOD frustration tolerance, let alone a kid with emotional issues. Also, there aren't any ED centers that are also AAP centers, so when a gifted ED-center child is mainstreamed into the general ed class, the general ed class material is not going to be at the right level. How are they accessing "AAP instruction"? 
An occasional group pullout with the AART can not be equivalent to a full time gifted education. [/quote]
