I know that law is effectively used in school for all the services that many difficult child and other students require but I was wondering if you have ever needed to quote the law for activities outside school?
I posted the other day about my difficult child getting ejected from his baseball game because in anger after he struck out, he threw his helmet and bat down in the dugout. It was deemed poor sportsmanship and he was tossed and also not allowed to return for any games the remainder of the weekend. Now he did not, nor has he ever, threatened anyone with the bat or helmet nor has he ever been confrontational with any player, coach, umpire, etc... he just threw his equipment out of frustration and needing to get his anger out. I do understand the rules set forth regarding sportsmanship but what I would like to know is if I disclose to the sports league about difficult child's behavior and emotional problems, I was wondering if I can at least get them to give difficult child at least one warning about his behavior and then if he does it again, then eject him. I would never ask he be exempt from the rules, but just given a second chance due to his mental disability. difficult child would more than likely cool it if given a warning. He listens to any one but his parents!
In schools, those with learning difficulties are given extra time on state exams, etc... so I do feel children with mental issues deserve a bit extra too. Except for those moments that occur at times, difficult child does great in sports and loves it. I feel so awful that those moments of poor decisions that he has difficulty controlling will ruin what he loves to do. I was just wondering if any of you knew more about this law? I did find the website and will call them later as well. Thanks
