IsItFridayYet?
I tried to update my other thread to show it was updated and its just not working, so...here's a repeat/update. He was up and ready to go this morning, tho, despite having sworn he wasn't coming back to "that dumb school EVER". lol
Sorry for the duplicate.
The final report wasn't so great. He ended up throwing a chair in the classroom, among other things. He cursed several times (not his usual thing), kicked, spit, hit, etc. They saw it all.
BUT
He did have good periods in between the bad. The SpEd teacher understands him. She saw him throw a fit that he was completely in control of, and later, watched him spew a string of 7 profanities that she feels was absolutely out of his control. She saw the principal work thru an episode with him and use joint compressions and says she saw him calm down. She gets it. She asked permission to modify the plan to give him some heavy work right off the bat in the morning (of course I said yes). They are involving the janitor, of all people! lol (its a small town - he's also the guy that fixed difficult child's go-cart!) difficult child will be helping him push the garbage cans around the school. We are taking his giant foam Occupational Therapist (OT) barrel in for them to use.
He talked with the SpEd teacher about the "bad" teacher from his old school for a while today. Definitly some obstacles to overcome there, but they weren't daunted, thus far.
He was hitting his para and the janitor had to help her get him into the self-contained room when I picked him up, and difficult child said he was leaving the school forever. What we all worried about with him having 3 para's instead of 1, we are now thinking is a good thing - having the 3 of them, they get a break. They said he is really intense.
So he had good periods thru the day - they saw that he can do this. They also saw how much effort it takes to make it happen.
And not for nothing, one of his paras said "is he like this at home? How do you do this?" I just told her she should see my house....
