[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 380267, member: 805"] Ok. Take a deep one...a real cleansing breath. Nothing is going to be accomplished overnight, so have your line in the sand and don't cross it. Personally, any doctor's office who will not allow me to speak with the doctor personally and who is given you information like that over the phone would be a goner for me. Let them be as difficult as they want. Either insist that you speak therapist or go somewhere else! You have every right to request whatever kind of testing you feel your son needs. Call and bug them once an hour. Perhaps the doctor doesn't know what his staff is doing. In regards to school, here's my opinion - You march into that school tomorrow and insist to speak personally with the principal. If you have to wait an hour, wait. Ask the principal why he will not allow your son to change classrooms. Let him/her know that your son is having a very difficult time adjusting and, for everyone's sake, another teacher is worth a try. Let him/her know that you are in the process of seeking further testing and evaluation for your son but would also like to request an FBA resulting in a BIP for your son. Let him/her know you will send that request by certified mail tomorrow. There is no reason, unless the other classrooms are at capacity, that your son cannot be moved. We are not talking about a 16 year old teenager who "hates" their teacher. We are dealing with a little 8 year old boy who obviously is not able to articulate his frustrations/feelings and they become physical. We very well could be talking about an oil and water situation between your son and his teacher (this was the case when my son was in 3rd grade and it can be very difficult). Obviously your son's behaviors are escalating. The school should take some responsibility in making some quick changes that are not costly and could perhaps make a difference while your son is being evaluated. Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
