[QUOTE="artana, post: 226128, member: 6186"] Shari, I'm not sure what state you're in, so my advice may be wrong. In PA, where I'm at, the public school will not provide 1-on-1 because there are state programs that pay for wraparound (i.e. Therapists at the school 3 hours a day or more, behavior therapists, etc) for children who are special needs. The state assistance is available no matter what your income levels are. So schools do not bear the costs of the 1-on-1, but it means as a parent we do a heck of a lot more paperwork and red tape. My advice would be to find out if something like this exists in your state. It's possible that the public school won't pay because there is another avenue for this. Like I said, it varies from state to state. That teacher is a jerk of the worst kind. Anyone who can think that way about a child has no business being around children. I think you are right to raise the issue and push to find out what triggered it.:/ I also think that some of the other advice about the Montessori might be right. My oldest son, who has very mild autism, is having a hard enough time in a Charter school because of the lack of rigidity in the schedule. It would be a lot worse at a Montessori. [/QUOTE]
