[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 534374, member: 3388"] Wiped Out, It rots big time when something like this happens - Really gets my blood boiling!! I always felt the best way of handling a major problem was to hand deliver a letter to the sped director stating exactly what happened, the date and approximate time of the incident, then requesting a response as to what will be done to ensure this NEVER happens again. By putting the incident in writing, hand delivering it, and keeping a copy for your records, there is a permanent record of the problem and the Special Education principal will be forced into immediate action. However, in your case, I realize this might be difficult to do as you probably want to keep things on a more friendly level. However, if the Special Education principal is a reasonable person, he/she should understand the seriousness of this incident and know that if in the same position, he/she would most likely handle the situation the same way. As I was typing this, a thought popped into my mind. Maybe, it would seem a bit less harsh if you called the Special Education principal first, discussed the incident over the phone, and then sent a follow up letter summarizing what was said during the call. I think I would still hand deliver the follow up letter though. Just my two cents... So sorry this happened!! You've worked so hard to help your difficult child understand that violence is never acceptable and then someone who your difficult child is supposed to look up to, respect, not only pokes him but shoves him into a locker... I'm going to get off of my soapbox before I even get started! SFR [/QUOTE]
