[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 325722, member: 1991"] Terry, you've done this and you've done this - it must be so frustrating. But what more can you do? As for difficult child, he needs help to understand that it doesn't have to be this rigid. However, the help has to come form the teacher as much as from you and if the teacher won't work with you, then you are stuck. You are using a communication book, aren't you? Again - what more can you do? I did find that a Book was often the secret to finally getting a teacher on side or at least constantly aware that this kid needed regular tweaking. I wouldn't be too upset with difficult child - his thinking is rigid and inflexible because it is all he kows to be. It is his TEACHER'S job to help him with this, to work with this. You've explained to her that this is how he thinks (which is a facet of his disability) and her failure to take this information on board is actively discriminatory. She probably is not aware of this, or of her legal responsibility to do the right thing by him. Reminding her of this is your right but may not be a good idea - she really sounds more inflexible than difficult child and that really is a worry. Marg [/QUOTE]
