Thanks everyone! The connection broke up so I went for a walk
Wiped Out, I was wondering what you thought about the situation with my difficult child. Do you have any advice I can offer the teachers being a teacher yourself? I actually have no issue with the teachers in that school. They are very nice and there is one who feels he does not belong there. She has worked with another Aspie just like my difficult child and she feels that he should have never been sent to the behavioral school. She thinks these issues are mainly apart of his exceptionality. I wish I could get her in on the meeting but I'm afraid she'll be reprimanded if she speaks her mind about the issues with my son. She's the one who's pushing for me to get one on one aid for my difficult child and she informed me of the Assistive Technology Assessment (something new to me).
Things to do:
1. Contact special education lawyer
2. Contact Department of Education for state about principal's comments
3. Find alternate resources for schools/services besides Juvy
4. Locate a neuropsychiatrist and schedule an appointment for true diagnosis
5. Check on medication re evaluation for difficult child
6. Contact NAMI for resources/Parents Education and Advocacy Training Center
7. Contact mental health advocate/attorney for this area (CHECK
I'm sure there are other things that I am forgetting right now but I feel much better about this situation Thanks again for all the support everyone!!
