I have finished the intake with Disability Law Center. They said it takes at least two weeks to call back. I mentioned that I will document things in the mean time and that I already had another call this morning and they said I would probably get a call THIS week then. I hope that means it sounds like a case that is up their alley.
So I did already have a call from school at 10 this a.m. saying they were reading a story about a boy with Asperger's and during it difficult child decided to take out his gameboy (I didn't think it was a good idea to bring, but they started it last year as a tool BETWEEN classwork, and on the bus. He did well with it up to now). I found out he was "fired" from his morning cafeteria job at least for a while, it was the job that they had told me was going great. He just had to re-do things too much and it costs money to do that. I should have known because this morning he said "I can't wait to go to my cafeteria job" . He says that every time I say he is not going to do something so.... Then he said he got fired, and I said I doubt it since they have't told me and he said okay, shudda kept my mouth shut!
So #1 routine change, #2 got "fired"-more proof he is a bad kid, #3 book about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) which he would read as a book about someone like him...it is all about him....and he doesn't like having autism at this point. So, he was in the background swearing etc. when they called. They said they would call again if he couldn't settle. I sent an email they replied back he was back into green zone so was okay.
I am sending as many questions and responses thru email as I can, so I have the paper trail to show admin that the bip is working. Also to show what I have been told, no misunderstandings.
I hate that my trust for these guys is shrinking...it could be one of the best success stories if they would just stick with it. But I have been here and worse before so........sigh
I am worried once they find out (if it comes to them actually being directly involved) about disability law, that the communication and tone will change. Up to now I am welcomed all the time, people call me, they (the sp. ed. team) go above and beyond. But they need their jobs and I know of a parent who was not even allowed her phone calls to go thru to the teacher. (same school, teacher, etc...just last year) She was escorted out of the building by the vp. We are very different people and I am very respectful and genuinely appreciative when they do well....so hopefully it wont happen. Just a feeling.
pacer hasn't called or emailed back yet
