[QUOTE="muts80, post: 151589, member: 5177"] I cannot believe the principal said that to you!! I don't know how it is in your state, but in Florida by law the school district HAS to provide resources for your child. I would definitely get a meeting together with the teacher and the IEP specialist to get him on an IEP if he isn't already! I'm sure it's very frustrating for difficult child as well, because if he's in a normal classroom setting, he probably feels a lot of anxiety and fear. I know that's how my difficult child was. Once we put him in an ESE class, he seemed to calm down a bit. But that is not the case in all ESE classes. My difficult child was in one that the teacher kept leaving me notes in his homework folder that she "didn't feel like this was the best setting for him"....HELLO...you're an ESE teacher!! What do you mean this isn't the best setting?! So frustrating. So finding that perfect match as far as a teacher is vital also. Another thing I've found helpful with my difficult child when he wakes up and doesn't want to go to school....find something that difficult child is REALLY attatched to (like my difficult child's is his Nintendo DS). I tell him "if you can go to school today, and do your work...then you can have the priviledge of playing your DS tonight." I also tell the teacher (or write a note) to remind difficult child of this when he starts to get off track. It has worked everyday now for 2 weeks. So maybe try that. Keep us posted!! BIG HUGS!!!
