[QUOTE="DDD, post: 233153, member: 35"] I'm sorry. I've pretty much been there done that decades ago and although I have always been a "strong woman"...I literally had to take 24 hours away from the children so I could cry away my fears and frustrations. "Back in the day" they had one elementary school where ALL special needs students were sent and there were no parental rights available to block their choice. There are protections in place now. Reading your post I am not sure whether you are upset that the expected has finally turned into reality or whether you don't believe that he needs to be placed in a special environment. If your gut tells you this is right but it makes you sad....I'm sending understanding hugs your way. If you don't believe that his behavior pattern indicates that he needs this type of placement then it is time to study the documentation. Just for your own comfort, try to take time to look at your own records and experiences without anyone around to interupt your analysis. If you can look at patterns in black/white perhaps you will see that his poor choices are more frequent than they seemed to you. If you see that he has maintained acceptable behavior with some verbal exceptions, then you may want to get psyched up to question the suggestion of the school placement. Big decisions like this can not be made arbitrarily. There are guidelines for the protection of all involved. I wish you well. DDD [/QUOTE]
