[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 751221, member: 23359"] Here I go again, crying but for a whole different reason. Thank you all again, thank you for your kindness, for your support. Thank you for your time, thank you for helping set me straight. They have what we called an Educational Assistants (EA), I think the states call them a teachers aid? They’re usually people with a background in disabilities. He will have constant support with a 1:1 and they are talking about making him a 1:2 (two EA to him) because of his severe aggression and violence. But they have to apply for funding. They’re not really sure what they’re going to do because they don’t really know him. We switched school boards (Catholic to public) when he was kicked out of the treatment program (residential) in May of this year. I recently looked into boarding school (nothing private in our area) but it was $54-55,000 a year Totally not in our budget. It sounded perfect for him though. I absolutely love this! Thank you, I think I’m going to make this my new mantra. Help keep me focused! I think going to the Bahamas sounds like a fabulous idea though For many reasons, His sensory issues- their hope is that coming in after the bell, after the children leave the hallways that it will be calmer for him. He won’t be so sensory overloaded. Same with the end of the day, that all that sensory will make it too much for him to handle. B that he can’t handle a full day of school. Which I don’t think he can but I’m not given much of a choice in that sense. The government gives us some funding for respite. Funding I’m NOT allowed to use during school hours because school is responsible for him during those hours (915-330). But then I have the school saying they can’t handle him and he cannot handle it the entire time. I am currently fighting this with our program coordinator and MPP (member of parliament-like a senator maybe in the states? MPP is elected by community). It really makes no sense. And honestly, because they can. They can legally shorten his days. They can actually expel him from school and send a teacher a few hours a week to teach him at home. As in Ontario, it will be my responsibility as a parent to care for him during those hours. I like this idea. I’m not really sure how to heal, to be honest. When B was in residential, it felt like I could breathe again. We dropped him off Monday mornings, I did a session with the social worker there on B. On Wednesday evenings, we did a family group play session (usually a game) and then we picked him up on Fridays at 230. He’s be home on weekends. It was amazing, I felt like we were all making progress and then the rug was pulled out so fast. My health team has free walk in counselling on Wednesday’s. I plan on going in when B starts school. Hopefully that will help with everything [/QUOTE]
