[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 499155, member: 1233"] Have you shown this to your advocate and the legal person? in my opinion htis is NOT LRE. NO WAY is this the least restrictive environment. I think it is great to have the room for him to go to when he has a problem or needs alone time, but not for him to spend the whole day. WHY is he looking at auction sites? NOT that they are bad, but why not put some numbers game into play with them. Have him make a mark on a paper every time a five or a twelve or whatever is shown. Or have him write the totals of the auctions down and see how much four items he chooses cost in the end. SOMETHING to make it more than just staring at the site. This is NOT education in the least restrictive environment. It just isn't and I think seeing this will have the legal person very upset. That EA or whomever is just there to make sure he doesn't leave, she isn't helping him do anything. HOW is he to increase his time iwth the other kids if he never has a chance to be with them? Gee, I learn to behave around people by sitting alone in a room all day. That sentence makes NO sense at all. You cannot teach a puppy to behave around people if you keep him in a pen all day with someone watching to make sure he doesn't leave or dig under the fence. Q has a TON more potential than a puppy and needs even MORE help and DESERVES it. I am glad that he has a space where he can get away from others when he needs it. But I am madder than a hornet that he spends his day there so he doesn't accidentally say something to upset someone else's little darling. The other kids are tougher than they look and their education will be enhanced by helping Q - honestly, that is how it works. I know partly because Jess was ALWAYS the one who sat by the kid with problems. Helping them learn something meant it was reinforced 10x in her mind more than in the other kids in the room. It also helped her learn compassion and that problems don't mean we throw people away. I think your school needs that lesson. [/QUOTE]
