[QUOTE="buddy, post: 521544, member: 12886"] OH my word, I was upset enough when I read this then I saw that your son is FOUR??? WTH??? You have just written a full page from my book. I have had two such bus drivers to the point where they REFUSED in front of their superiors to follow the behavior plan or to do the right thing, because YES they are driving a sp ed bus (which by the way MUST be in the IEP if he is on it so you are covered there, its an accommodation) and did they get fired??? One even had a fit telling all the adults standing outside of the school that my son was the rudest child she had ever worked with. Well, she stressed him out so much that the incessant talk and oppositional comments (BOY can I relate to that, wait till your kid is 15 and you have had ten more years of this! uggggggg ) become much worse. They did things like "fake" drive away to make him nervous and to force him to behave better, they told him they would have parties the days he was gone and they could be without him etc... it was awful. Every other bus experience, with people who follow the guidelines and know what to ignore and what to re-direct...he has had no problems. BOTH times I had an immediate meeting. The district's answer??? They gave him his own bus... so HE felt like he was in trouble. The whole thing makes me just sick. Adults bullying kids.... KIDS with special needs who can't turn their brains off and are suffering! And the therapist??? needs to be monitored if not fired. Trust your gut, I felt a psychologist at my son's school was too aggressive/rude and in the end he caused a rug burn by restraining him in a dangerous way several months ago. He said so many things too....I should have fought harder. IT sounds like a heart wrenching day and one thing for my teen aged child to go through that...you have a baby! he is sooo young and they are being unbelievably unprofessional. I am really sorry, I know how awful that feels (when I heard the bus driver across the parking lot talking about my son I confronted her and my stomach was in my throat, my knees were shaking and she told me I must be an awful mother to have such a rude child...she said she would report me to CPS because he is so awful) Fight for him, YOU set the time of the meeting... show up at transportation and DONT LEAVE. this chick needs a kick. Are there aides on the buses? If not you may want it in his IEP then they must supply one. Driver should not be interacting with the kids at all, only the aide....let them do a behavior plan, let your son have special books, sugarless gum, whatever it takes to help him.... We are here for you.... I am having a ptsd moment, sorry if I am too crabby about them on your behalf... I just hate this kind of thing. [/QUOTE]
