[QUOTE="klmno, post: 190216, member: 3699"] Good point, Sharon. Actually, I've been wondering if they aren't punishing more (giving him harder punishments) than other kids. When he tore up his ibook last year, I paid for it, they took the computer away for the rest of the year, he was suspended out of school for 1 week, and they had him arrested, knowing he was on probation with a defferment for punishment of previous charges that were not committed at school. I thought that was absurd. I have no idea how to get them to come around to seeing that he shouldn't get punished more than typical students, much less that he shouldn't get punished as much. I speculate that it has something to do with their lack of knowledge about any issue other than ADHD and that any kid on an IEP for emotional disturbance is considered a behavior problem that needs every step out of line nipped in the bud by the strictest punishment possible. I need to get a therapist on board- I haven't been thrilled with the tdocs we had been seeing and now I've been seeing an intern psychiatric that works with a teaching psychiatric hospital for kids. I've been going over difficult child's history and trying to decide if I should take difficult child there. If I can get this guy on board, I could take him to an IEP meeting and I believe the team would listen to him. I'm taking that slow because I tried this with a therapist last year who charged me $100 then showed up to the meeting and offered NOTHING. He actually sat there while everyone from the sd complained about difficult child and just told them that he would work with difficult child on those issues that they complained about. Needless to say, i found that pretty frustrating. That was the same therapist who did a couple of other things afterwards that left me convinced that he's a quack. [/QUOTE]
