We're already on our 4th school in just over 2 years. If you want all the
details I'll be glad to post them here in a new thread, or see my post in
alt.support.step-parents.



I don't know if Military schools accept children with problems as severe as
your post indicates. If you can find a program which would be appropriate,
it may be possible to get the school to pick up at least some of the bill,
since apparently his current program is not meeting his needs. It may be
worth talking to a special ed advocate or attorney to see if this is an
option. If there is an Independent Living Center in your area, they usually
have someone they can recommend for advocacy, and may also have suggestions
on appropriate residential schools. (ILC's cover a broader base than you
might think).

Good luck-I hope something works OK.
