[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 504765, member: 1233"] Those do sound like huge problems. I wonder how often those codes happen? I wish there was a way to have that program in a building next door to where he is now so he could just go between them as needed. As for being bullied for the next four mos, I would be documenting EVERYTHING. because then you can PROVE that they are doing a lot of this intentionally and in an organized fashion to get him out of the school. You might ask the lawyer and advocate how to keep them from bullying you. Otherwise if you had the time I would suggest following Mr Principal for a while because I am sure he has some kind of nasty little secret. People who act like this do not limit it to one part of their lives. A few embarrassing pics that you don't send to his wife/boss/the paper MIGHT get you some breathing room. Is it possible to let him do Special Olympics? Is there a YMCA within reasonable distance of your home? Those might provide some social options and help with that end of things. I know that the Y would probably give him a scholarship to do everything free, and you to do it with him. You have to apply, but most are pretty good about this. Would Boy Scouts be an option? Maybe if an Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) or mentor attended with him? Those would be good social things also if you have the right troop. I know the big cities near us both have special Boy and Girl Scout troops for sp ed, and they also integrate them with reg troops when possible (and they see a lot more possible than most groups do, at least from what I ahve heard). What extracurricular things are the neighborhood kids in? What could be done to integrate that into Q's life? Just a thought. Google your area homeschool groups. NOT to homeschool, but to see if possibly you could join some of their activities. We were in a BIG group in Cincy and I have not met more tolerant people with one exception. Homeschool kids do NOT think that you should only be with kids your own age, they are far more tolerant generally and they often have a lot of cool activities. Our group had a prom, dances, sports teams, a two coop schools where the kids got together to learn things, just LOTS of all kind of activities. It wouldn't hurt to ask if you could do some things iwth them. NO ONE in our group EVER refused to do anything with Wiz no matter how he acted out. And he did. They knew, and their moms did, that we were doing all we could. and that was enough for them. [/QUOTE]
