[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 385365, member: 1631"] Hope-Thanks-we did go instead of the phone-although that would have been a good option. Sue-I do agree expulsion would be very difficult. At the manifestation determination they would have to find it was due to his disability. I do think we will be revisiting the bip-teacher even suggested it (however, had it been followed yesterday I do believe the incident would not have happened-I'll explain at the end of the post). Jena-Thank you for the hugs and support-both are needed! ML-Yep-difficult child definitely has a hard time learning from his mistakes. Lisa-I agree it is a safety-valve type of thing-definitely self-protection. Sharon-You put things very well. At some point difficult child will need to live in the real world and all of the allowances and mods won't be available. I do think hospitalization may be needed. We did keep the appointment. psychiatrist was wonderful about it as was his receptionist who had to stay later. She told us she definitely agreed about keeping difficult child's appointment and also thanked us for always being so understanding. psychiatrist apologized for the delay-it was only about 20 minutes late. He had several kids that were at a hospitalization point yesterday (definitely Oct). He agrees difficult child may need to be hospitalized. If there were a bed available he would have gone last night. Right now in the entire state there are only 3 beds available. He is putting difficult child on a waiting list but there are 5 kids ahead of him. In the meantime, he said if there is another episode we could definitely take him to the er and try that route. Also we are going to increase his clozaril (sp). He said we will have to see if hospitalization is needed still when a bed opens. I agree. difficult child is suspended for today. The director of the alternative school isn't leading towards expulsion (which would result in a manifestation determination) but is going to talk to the regular school's principal). Also I received and email describing the incident in more detail. While difficult child was wrong his bip was not followed. The aide grabbed difficult child's keys and asked how it feels to have someone have your things (because he had her sweater). This is a definite power struggle and getting in difficult child's space like that isn't suppose to happen. Still I agree with the suspension-a bip won't always be there in real life. Also psychiatrist agreed with-me that next time they should call the police. At home right now, even though we are seeing escalation and threats, I've told difficult child I will call the police and he hasn't followed through on the threats which does suggest some level of control. Thank you all for your support-I love you all. [/QUOTE]
