[QUOTE="geekparent, post: 399604, member: 9109"] That was the status quo at her other school. Sometimes (and it was a 50/50 **** shoot), difficult child could go to the Special Education room and the Special Education teacher would calm her down, but only if she wasn't co-teaching or busy elsewhere. Most of difficult child's time after a meltdown or explosion was spent in the office :( difficult child is definitely smart enough to be in the Gen Ed, all teachers agree on this too. Her evaluation showed a high IQ (she only missed the gifted program/designation by 1 point), but sadly it's the other issues that hold her back and slow her down. Hopefully the right environment (and right medications, which are still touch and go and testing at this point) will eventually have her spending the majority of her time in the general ed room and not the resource room. Sorry to hear about your troubles with the school. I've learned from a friend of mine, whose son is an Aspie that even all schools in all sd are not created equal. They are associated with a couple who also has an Aspie child and just by being in two different elementary schools the boys get radically different treatment. My friend's son has helpful, cooperative and accomodating teachers. The other couple had to appeal and pay for an outside evaluator in order to finally get an IEP for their son. And that's two schools in the same district only a few miles apart! [/QUOTE]
