[QUOTE="buddy, post: 558676, member: 12886"] Pretty much. They started out with strengths .....now as much as many of you know of Q here is what they said : He is getting all his work done in general (all periodic reviews in the past year have said zero progress ) he is.connecting much better not only with adults but peers too. He has a job going thru the building to double check attendance for bussing and even the primcipal said he does great. He even does lunch well most days ....lunch! Then they are afraid for his safety because he seeks deep pressure and lately that is throwing his body into walls etc. Of course I have seen that but say nothing because I know him and it would increase so it's rare now.....they say they tell him it's not safe blah blah so it I'm sure now serves a function of gaining him interaction. His number one desire. Well the legal advocate just called and apologized. She said she hasn't been that mad in years and can't believe she ripped on them but she said she actually held back. She reviewed the number of contradictions, yikes. Anyway we are going to request a resumption of the iee that we started long ago and she said our district won't deny payment because he has ma so it will be billed thru them anyway. I reminded them of the fm system and the ave unit and the swing and they were going to try the dog and none of it has been used. Bottom line, I fear we are stuck with a very limited teacher this year so when he uses the same two verbal strategies over and over and none of the 25 other things listed in the working document we worked so hard to develop I feel we are screwed. At what point do I not take the risk and end the madness. Home schooling would be awful for me but at least it won't destroy whatever future he might have. I can easily think of how to do it....he only has math reading and social studies which I have mostly taught him anyway ( they say he loves social studies and it's amazing how much he knows and the insightful questions he asks. I said not so amazing, afterall I'm his mom! I still can't believe I said that but I feel like they said some really belittling things (like if I was his mom I'd be concerned. .....wtf?
