[QUOTE="slsh, post: 385308, member: 8"] Absolutely the right thing to ask to keep difficult child's appointment. Absolutely, without question. This is 2 significantly violent episodes in less than 2 weeks. psychiatrist definitely needs to join in the fun. Sharon - you know they cannot expel him. This kind of behavior unfortunately goes hand in hand with- difficult child's disability. I think the fact that he wanted to play ping-pong immediately after the restraint just highlights how it is so much a part of the story of him. Know what I mean? I wonder if it's time to request an IEP mtg to review/modify BIP. You and I both know how hard it is to be "on" 24/7 in our dealings with- a difficult child who can become violent at the drop of a hat - to my eye, it looks like staff may possibly be forgetting it and they might need a reminder. They simply *cannot* "get into it" with- him. He is getting bigger and stronger, Sharon, and they really need to be very mindful of how unbelievably easy it is to trigger him. Yes, he needs to be muting his responses and, yes, he needs to learn that this level is of aggression is unacceptable, but... unfortunately, it takes a ridiculous amt of time for some of our kids to quit being so aggressive, and in the meantime, staff is in the line of fire if they don't pay attention to what they're doing. Between the incident last week, which put more than just staff at risk, and then this one, I really think that the BIP needs to at the very least be reviewed so that staff keeps it in mind, if not revised. Gentle hugs to you. I know it's incredibly frustrating and more than a bit mortifying to have your kid have days like these. [/QUOTE]
