[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 432810, member: 11001"] This is aweful and makes me mad and sad. First of all you called and asked for help with the bus situation and there was no follow-through. Second,that there is no compassion in any of these adults or kids. When you get to the new school I would make an appointment right away-usually principals have to work through part of the summer. His file will not arrive until you have registered him and they know where to send for it. I would be very frank about the last school experience. I would be honest that your son , because of his diagnosis, struggles with behavior and that he probably will at some level for the rest of his school career. Let them know that you want to work with them. You wish to have a BIP (behavior intervention plan) in place that is strong and requires that the school provide some supports such as, an aide on the bus. In my experience as a student and a teacher, this is a hot house for trouble. The driver is driving and it's loud on that bus. They are clueless about what goes on. Kids are terrible to each other esp. in Jr. High. I remember being teased horridly until I finially decided to walk or ride my bike the entire 3 miles to school. There were times when my sister and I couldn't even sit down as others put there legs out over the seat. Driver kept driving. I once sat on someone's legs in frustration. Guess who was in trouble? Let the principal know that some of you son's social issues are because he is different and a target. He has learned to get attention by being irritating and you want to work on this. School is the best place as this is where the kids are. Let the school know that you feel it would be hard for any kid to endure what your boy does, let alone having a disability and trying to deal with it. Files are rarely read-unless there is a big problem. I hate to say it. Special Education. files are more often read as they are suppose to be a working document. What will they do if they see it any way? I know many people feel like it causes prejudgement and schools to be looking for mess ups.
