[QUOTE="Shari, post: 250744, member: 1848"] Sharon, no, the half days were not part of the plan. What happened was that "the team" (everyone) decided "the plan" would be for me to shadow difficult child for and his para for a few days and see if there were issues with the paras or things that were triggering difficult child. I did this one day. I sat and watched (not to intervene) as a para triggered and escalated difficult child several times. One time difficult child "stabbed" her (more like a poke) in the hand with a pair of safety scissors. At noon the next day, when I was there to shadow, I was informed the "stabbing" was a safety threat and principal and superintendant had decided difficult child would be going half days only. I told them I did not agree, and principal informed me that was his only option if he wanted to go to school there. difficult child has good mornings. They are easier for him. But from the one day I shadowed him, every meltdown he had could have been avoided with a better trained para. So while the morning routine isn't hurting him terribly, I think its laregly avoiding the issues at hand and is not really doing anything to address those, except for disrupting difficult child's routine. Also, yesterday, difficult child made the connection that he was the only kid leaving school at that time. That didn't sit well, either. I sent a note to SpEd director telling her delaying the meeting was not acceptable and difficult child has always been and remains to be available for any testing at any time, all they have to do is call me. At this point, I will drop everything. SpEd teacher agreed last night, too, that this can't wait. She's pushing for the evaluation meeting to be held by the 60 day mark (tho I don't think she's thinking of it from the 60 day time limit standpoint - she just needs difficult child to have this IEP in place.)
