So my difficult child Son, Age 11 was sent home again today from school. This is the 3rd time this year it has happend. He was sent home for non-compliance and disruptive behavior. He does have an IEP and I had a meeting on Monday with my advocate from the Regional Center. I can't say anything was really resolved as I told them I have an appointment for my difficult child to see a physciarist in February. We are to reconvene after and then talk about what to do next.
He does have a behavior plan they are currently "tweaking" to find the right reward based program for him. Today they reminded him several times about the reward and he just flat said he "didnt care".
At home, he tells me he "fing hates me" and slams the door to his room, then comes down 10 minutes later and says he is sorry. That being sent home wasnt his fault and it was an accident, and the work was to hard.
difficult child has weekly thearpist meetings. We both go and talk to the thearpist together, though she tends to direct more on me then him, so I am not so sure that it is so helpful.
I have a meeting with the Special Education Superintendent on Friday to go over this sending home thing. I have been told by his former teacher (he was moved to a different school/teacher this year because he is in a speical day class and the class for his grade level (5) is at this new school) that they can not send him home like that if it is not in his IEP.
This year has been a total living nightmare. He dislikes his new school, he dislikes all the teachers, he dislikes a student that he has trouble with in the past for bullying. Transition is really difficult for him and the new school doesn't seem to be trying to make it any easier for him.
The advocate from the Regional Center is talking about sending him to a school with kids with behavior problems. But according to the rep at the school board, difficult child isn't ready to go to a school with kids with severe bevhaior problems.
Anyone have any ideas, sugggestions? I am pretty much at my wits end.
