[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 382849, member: 1169"] You best bet is to have a very specifically written IEP so that you will be able to document whether or not she is following the IEP. Sometimes if the teacher is too awful for your child, you have to make a decision about being right or doing right. If she is going to be a negative factor in his life, it may be better to ask for a classroom transfer rather than continue to battle her all year long. If, on the other hand, you feel that she could be a positive teacher for him with some additional training, then I would meet with the Special Education director and ask for her help in getting the teacher trained. The easiest way I can think of to 'force' the training is to have the IEP state that all staff working directly with difficult child have completed "XYZ training" (We require all staff that works with Tigger to complete CPI training but that wasn't even a battle for us because that training was already offered to our teachers/admins and eventually Tigger was moved to his current classroom where it is a requirement for all staff anyway.) If you can find out what adhd-type training is used in the school system already, it will be an easier 'sell'. If you are in a small school district that may not use a lot of training, I would call the nearest big, well-funded district andask who they use for that type of training (call their Special Education dir or her secretary, they are going to be the only one who knows.
