[QUOTE="buddy, post: 505221, member: 12886"] No problems! I must not have been too clear...I think redirection works great. Way better than making a big deal out of things. Make a joke, transition to something else, etc. Maybe i was talking about a specific thing, I cant' find it.... What is not working is to remove him from every single time he has an issue. No chance to work through things like they had been doing. Just a threat to stop and then calling admin several times per day. The constant threats have put him over the top with anxiety so he leaves for school saying he is going to show them all, half meaning he is going Occupational Therapist (OT) have the best day ever then saying he is going to tell them off. Look, he IS IS IS a really hard kid. I have never insisted he go to mainstream classes, I have agreed there are times he does better in the "office" space he created, but I never asked them to give up. I never asked them to hide him from school society completely. I think they liked him in there and it has increased over time to the point now where it is hard to get him back... I am afraid I am going to look back on this either way and feel like I really failed him. I have to really rely and listen to the people I bring to the table with me who have been working with ultra hard kids for many more years than I... I need them big time, thank heaven they come to the table loaded for bear. Lawyer is mad mad mad... she is writing complaints and calling everyone. Uggg... this is so yucky. Not the life I promised him when I adopted him. [/QUOTE]
