[QUOTE="nvts, post: 82906, member: 3814"] Hi! Adding my 2 cents: This guy is new, is on a power trip and can't be reasoned with. Speaking with the principal is a great idea, but remember: she most likely hired him, so she might lean toward his position rather than yours. Do yourself a favor: write everything down. Then read it impartially. Take any insults out - then put it in an outline format. Have this with you when you go talk to her. If it's laid out logically, you'll have more luck showing logic vs. passion about being right. You ARE right, but logic will win. Bring a copy of the IEP with you so that you can refer back at all times. Bring copies of the doctors. referal (if you have one) for the cardiologist. It's great to advocate for your child, BUT you have to do your homework first and NOT GET EMOTIONAL!!! I have to tell you, my difficult child 1 was restrained last week and came home Fri. with hand PRINTS on his forearms from being held improperly. husband freaked and wanted blood, but I got a meeting with the staff involved, the director, his couselor and the Director of the psychiatric side of the house. I stayed as professional as they did and came out ahead of the game. Stay strong, stay convicted to the cause, and let us know how things worked out! Beth [/QUOTE]
