[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 484394, member: 13260"] Good morning, SRL. I wasn't there, but four other family members were. The site director was there trying to fill out her first ever 504, along with the first-year, brand new school psychiatric and the classroom teacher. I haven't seen it yet but hope to today. There was another lady in attendance from another school that is supposed to be helping the behavioral specialist (that wrote up a plan for sticker charts--gah!). Our concerns about his attending only 90 minutes a day for almost the entire school years was addressed by proposing lengthening his day starting next week (the kids are supposed to be going from 8:30-2:40 two days per week, and 8:30-1:10 3 days a week. He's been going from 8:30-10). The behavioral lady in attendance said she will be shadowing Eric this week. Everyone in my family fell in instant love with her. My husband went to pick him up and said this lady (different sort of name starting S) was at recess with him, two feet away, talking, playing, and drawing other kids in to play. husband said she was amazing. We only have her for a week. The team did recommend an aide and said they will be getting one, but we don't know exactly when. If I had been at the meeting, I would have nailed that down, but my husband was emphatic that the right aide will work wonders, the wrong one would be a disaster. Some of the aides we've seen around there are retired school teachers, command-style, can't even begin to keep up with their students, and physically not up to it (sitting down most of the time). The lady with difficult child said he had a great day, only had to go to the chill zone once, and only for a moment. He always does well in a novel situation, but when the novelty wears off...well, we'll see. His concerta dose got doubled this week (he's taking two 18 mgs) and he didn't eat a thing all day, except for a piece of his mommy's birthday cake. Haven't heard how he slept. I would think that the drugs wear off and he will be so hungry that it could interfere with his sleep, which would be baaaad, as we all know. So, the little boy is trying so hard that it breaks our hearts, says the sweetest things, was waiting at the end of the driveway for me when I got home from work yesterday, with his bike helmet on and mine in his hand so we could go for a ride. We rode for 45 minutes, jumped off our bikes to logroll down some grassy hills and had a blast. He was so happy and told me several times how happy he was and how much fun he was having with me. Whenit was time to go, he did so with very few problems. Of course when we got home, there was some minor drama, but it passed quickly. So, good so far. I sure wish he didn't have to try so hard because you can see the anxiety under it all. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
