You might call this org, Resources for Children with Special Needs. I can't quite tell, but they may be more focused on physical disabilities, but at least they may be able to point you in the right direction? [link]

We provide help by phone or by appointment at our office. Just call us at (212) 677-4650. The staff person who answers will ask you about your needs and wishes and the staff member who can help you best will call you back.

I love Buffistas. Watching the mobilization for msbelle and mac is wonderful.

Also, there's this thing called Positive Behavior Intervention -- again, not sure they are the right people, but it looks like they at least address anger management.

Bonnie Brown, Superintendent bbrown3@schools.nyc.gov

Gary Hecht, Deputy Superintendent ghecht@schools.nyc.gov

Michele Pierro, Director of School Safety and Positive Behavior Supports mpierro@schools.nyc.gov

Amy Steiger, PBIS Project Director asteige@schools.nyc.gov

Yeah, Jesse, those are the people in charge of District 75. It looks like the place to start, at any rate. The other name/number that jumped out as a possibility was:

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports Satish Moorthy (212) 802-1548;smoorthy@schools.nyc.gov

The problem with District 75 is they cover all disabilities and special needs, and it doesn't look like there's an easy way to figure out what school/services are for what.

I feel really shallow posting this at the moment, but there's a cloud outside my window that looks exactly like Serenity. Where's a camera when you need one?

msbelle, if mac has a diagnosed disorder, the school system has to provide special education services--or pay for his schooling. I don't know if you're already gone down that avenue yet.

I'm glad people can help research this with you. It makes me feel better than just sitting on my hands.

Yeah, so I see. I did find a PDF that has all the schools and their accessibility info and services offered and even that reads like freakin' stereo instructions.

Ooh, look at that Googling mojo with actual phone numbers.

"The Sugar Bears" Cardboard Flexi-Disc (from Sugar Crisp cereal)

If you will refer to your copy of Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth you will find an entire discography of cardboard flexidiscs as cut out from cereal boxes.

I have the Sugar Bears record (both on vinyl and on my computer) should you need a smackeral. Note: Kim Carnes sang on that record.

Also, maybe Advocates for Children can help. Here's a PDF on Advocating for Your Child with a Behavior Problem: [link] and they have a part-time hotline: Call the Educational Helpline for all school-related matters Monday through Thursday 10 am to 4 pm. 1-866-427-6033
