[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 321381, member: 1233"] A teacher who mocked a student that way should be either fired or given counseling so that THEY could learn not to mock people's disabilities. These truly are part of difficult child's disabilities. He isn't CHOOSING to do them the way a student chooses to rip up a textbook or blow a spitball. They are what his disability does when he is anxious/upset. Disrespect and mocking have NO place in the classroom or the teacher-student relationship. They need supports to reduce his anxiety and self-soothe and goals to work on what he actually CAN control. These goals will just end up with difficult child failing and teachers angry because "he isn't trying", when in fact he CANNOT meet the goals and probably CANNOT even figure out HOW to meet the goals. I would refuse to participate in anything that is about changing what I cannot change. Just like I would get angry and not participate in anything that set goals for changing how tall I am or for teaching me how to change my skin color. I just CAN'T change these. difficult child just CAN'T change his behaviors and I hope that goals can be set for things he can change instead of these. [/QUOTE]
