Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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
The good news about NYC being so confusing is that there are a lot of organizations that work outside The System to help.
I am watching Barefoot Contessa make cheddar dill scones. I would like someone to be at my house right now to make me those scones.
