[QUOTE="bran155, post: 231079"] How frustrating for you!!! I agree, contact the Superintendent. If you can't get anywhere on the phone go down to his/her office and sit there until you get the results you need. If that doesn't work call your local Student Advocacy Board, they might help you. Have you met with the school psychologist? If so what did he/she say? That is absurd. I have never heard of children that young changing classes unless it is to go to gym, art, music...etc. Even if that is the schools procedure they should definitely make exceptions for students with special needs. I had to fight with my easy child sons school principle because he has anxiety, does not like change and is very, very attached to me, so school is a huge adjustment for him.
