[QUOTE="SRL, post: 265669, member: 701"] Shari, if I were a school administrator I doubt I'd accept an absolute correlation between what a child does with his mother present to what they should be doing with school staff members. Just from reading here we know kid's behavior's vary widely depending on who they are with--some better with parents, some better with others. I know I've been able to pass along helpful tips to the school staff but even if they did try and implement them there was no guarantee that the kid would respond the same. Just wanted to toss that out there while you're thinking this all through. Also, I wanted to add that something seems really "off" here. In the US it's highly unusual for a district to allow a parent to accompany a child through the school day for any length of time such as they are letting you do now because it's not a good situation for their staff, and in most cases it's not a good situation for the child to become accustomed to having a parent along. Most principals would have been requesting the director of Special Education to come to an IEP meeting to help work through alternatives if they couldn't make it work by now. Director of sped surely knows but probably won't offer up that info if she thinks it can be provided in district. Best resource would probably be an educational advocate who would be familiar with various programs in your region. [/QUOTE]
