That child is in the self-contained autism classroom with an aide who helps him learn the self-help skills. He would not be able to be mainstreamed until they get him toilet trained and able to eat on his own.

The OP said her son has ADHD--they put him in a special classroom for THAT?

They shouldn't for ADHD. That doesn't even get an IEP, it gets 504 accommodations. Certainly should not be in a special classroom. Maybe he had other dxes as well? Note that the OP was from 2008, so hopefully this was resolved already.

Not always, we finally demanded an IEP and got it since with an IEP comes several layers of enforcement not available with a 504.
