[QUOTE="buddy, post: 558696, member: 12886"] The teacher is a problem only in that he is limited and not really able to pull much off. There are only three kids in the class and one is only there part time. Yes there's tons more. As I said a while ago I was nervous even before school started. The advocate called me and said the director of the school had called and was worried q might do damage to the pretty new school. He had not stepped foot in the school yet. Then the teacher called me the week before school saying the same. Now they are trying to say its because they are concerned for his safety. To not seem like such jerks I suppose. No the building is just sheet rock and the walls were meant to be replaced but what if it falls on his head? Then the principal comes back and had missed that cover up and said well we are close to thousands of dollars now. He has (not.the only kid doing this by the way but leave it to q to do the most ) put holes in two walls. He has pulled down holiday decorations ( mom there was a bunch of old corn sitting around, sigh) etc. Yes. It IS about the building. Then she implies they bent rules to have q in this program in the first place since it is a program for fetal alcohol (I think they didn't believe me to be honest ) and now they see it is autism and brain injury. Even the nasty Occupational Therapist (OT) says well even if we did deep pressure he'd never get filled up. And she wont let anyone spin him in a swing with his seizures etc. He's been spun since he was.little. doesn't get dizzy and only has improved slightly because of Occupational Therapist (OT). Makes me crazy. She basically decided from not working with him that nothing would help anyway. Oh and of all the oral sensory options he is given a stick of gum Ummm....I.said ok, nice reward but not a sensory intervention. He needs lots of gum. Or ice to chew (which had been a regular thing before this school ) and oh we could maybe find some...like it wasnt listed on his plan. Uggg.

Why is this being brought up? In this new building the old programs he started with plus an alternative learning center (expelled kids ) and the pregnant and teen mom program plus their tots were put in.
