[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 414750"] HaoZi, difficult child is not able to recognize when he needs a break. Teaching him this is one of the goals they JUST put in his new IEP. In the mean time, I have heard teachers say "I could tell when in walked in the room that it wasn't going to be a good day." Then they wait until something does happen and send him to the office. THAT is where the problem lies. Right now they have it that he gets "free choice" for 10 minutes at the end of every class if he just sits there but doesn't cause a problem. The problem comes when a teacher (2/5) try to make him to DO something in class and when he refuses, they send him to the office, thus losing his free time even though he doesn't cause a problem until they push AND then principal takes over and The End. Sue, their solution (the principal's at least) is to get him out of HIS building and send him to a therapeutic school where only the "hard core" kids are Sent. The other option they are pushing for is for a psychiatric hospital stay. Neither are acceptable to me because these problems ONLY occur at SCHOOL and they are the ones that have set the tone for the entire school year. They claim that the staff ARE trained to notice but I have yet to see one of them that ACTS on whatever they see BEFORE they cause a problem. That is where the problem lies. He has Asperger's and doesn't understand things sometimes but he doesn't feel comfortable enough to tell them what the problem is because of the way he has been penalized all year long because they didn't listen to him. That is also one of the goals the have JUST put into the new IEP. He hasn't been to school now since first thing Thursday morning when he was sent home. They send homework home for me to do with him. It's gotten to the point when he does go that I wonder WHEN my phone will ring, not IF. My advocate advised me to request mediation and I sent the paperwork in on Friday. The school now knows I intend to follow through but they are ASSUMING it is because I want difficult child to have a 1:1 para and they aren't doing that. I'm not saying a word.
