[QUOTE="hersheyb79, post: 484510, member: 11482"] Yes, but it just doesn't feel worth it to fight for it. The two accommodations *I* requested (vs what we came up with as a group) they can't even seem to manage. The classroom para is supposed to meet us at the door to the school at 8am to give him a soft start to his day. Every morning it is more like 8:05, 8:10, so he gets frustrated and upset because we have to stand around for 10-15 minutes. So he was melting down when she came to get him because he'd been waiting so long. I said "don't bother calling me if he melts down, I have a meeting" and I left. I was so mad. The whole point to them doing these things is to make his day better, but they screw it up and then call me to fix it. The other thing is he is supposed to have headphones that he can put on to block out noise when things get too chaotic...I requested them at the beginning of the year, they still aren't there. I said something yesterday and it was "oh, that's not a problem, they'll be here tomorrow." Well guess what...when I asked about it this morning they acted like they had no clue what I was talking about. He isn't capable of functioning in the environment he's in right now. He's miserable, I'm miserable. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. At least if he was at the other school they would have some CLUE how to deal with this stuff. The school now doesn't really seem to have a clue. [/QUOTE]
