[QUOTE="Metvan, post: 34676, member: 426"] I don't think that the school is requiring that she do this because we have had other episodes this past year and they haven't. The teacher herself had told me that she wouldn't have done it, but they can't keep the aide from doing anything. The lawyer I spoke with yesterday mentioned that they might be able to take some kind of legal action, but I'm not sure what I can say in a public forum at this point. One thing that DID happen was that they let my son give HIS version of events. My son gave the same version of events; HOWEVER, in his version (told to us immediately following the incident and reiterated for the board yesterday) the aide said something somewhat inappropriate (she had been trying to get him to do something, when he wouldn't do it, she went to pick up a pencil of his. He said "That's MY pencil" and she said "Ha! It's mine now!") He charged her and hit her after she said this to him. While it certainly isn't OK for my son to hit anyone for saying something like that, how appropriate is it for the aide to say something like "HA! Its mine now" to a child that they KNOW has emotional/behavioral problems, etc on a day when THEY admitted he had been up and down all day long. I know my son well enough to know that he didn't make that last bit up. He doesn't really "lie" (yet lol). Sometimes, he will give a false version of events based on his perception (say mom and dad are mean or being rude to his friends becuase we ask them to go home when he gets upset), but he just doesn't make up stuff that people might say like that so I KNOW she said it. Proving it will be another matter, I'm sure. Anyway, we got him admitted to a local facility so that they can try to get his medications stabilized. [/QUOTE]
