[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 307716, member: 2459"] The folks over on the Spec. Ed page may be able to help more but if it were me....I would try to explain it one more time (maybe with pre-printed information from the doctor) and if that didn't work....start going up the chain...Special Education dept. head, principal, superintendant, etc. This is a MEDICAL condition and in NO way is this teacher qualified to "treat" it. Nor is it helpful for her to keep this information from others who have contact with difficult child. I would think though that for her to be attempting to discipline a medical condition would (aside from being completely stupid) be boardering on illeagal if not way over the line (although in my opinion, she's way over the common sense line anyway). If you've been nice the other times you've spoken with her, maybe it's time to be not quite so nice. I'm not saying you should be downright mean but just add some sterness into your voice and emphasize that she is NOT qualified to "treat" his Tourette's Syndrome nor will disciplining accomplish anything. It's a MEDICAL condition and as YOU are his parents, YOU will decide (along with his doctor) on the proper course of treatment and YOU will decide when that treatment will take place. I would also inform her that she needs to let the aides know so that he doesn't get disciplined for things that he is literally unable to control. Keep emphasizing the medical aspect of this. If there are still problems even after talking to her and the rest of the food chain....you can take further action if they fail to provide the proper accomadations for his MEDICAL condition.
