[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 700759, member: 13260"] Hi Malika, yes the do exist, and in California there are different iterations of it. We have a couple in the district at which I work that are acceptable. The kids are usually at or very close to grade level academically, but they have behavioral and social issues that make it hard for them and their classmates in a general ed setting. The one that my grandson's previous school district recommended he attend is a county program for this year, which usually serves the children that everyone has pretty much given up on. Not a good fit, although sometimes I wonder if he would be better off there because he would be far and away the best behaved kid there, (until he learned some really cool new tricks). Those kids have done some pretty serious stuff and most have been hospitalized at one time or another. And these are young kids. Neurological differences that result in behaviors stigmatize kids so much. Everyone can see a child in a wheelchair and not be mad. So many people (and educators and administrators) see "our" kids and they are automatically judging, fearful, and mad at them. It's heartbreaking. [/QUOTE]
