[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 361583, member: 3419"] Hmm. Sounds like your son definitely needs spec attention, both with-organizational skills and physical needs, and that this school is not up to the task. This is a public school? Does he have an IEP or anything? That's what I would push for. If he already has things in place, then the school is being even more unprofessional than ever. When you go to the mtng, don't antagonize the staff any more. They are overworked and may or may not care about your son, but if you use words like "BS" they will label you as an impatient troublemaker, no matter how good of a case you have. It may sound like brown-nosing, but you will get more mileage if you talk about working as a team to help your son achieve his best. Even if you don't want these people on your team, you're stuck with-them for the time being. I am having problems with-some teachers at my son's school (one in particular) and am going to meet with-the principal next wk. I waited until the end of the school yr because I knew she wouldn't change ... I am going to ask that they remove Asperger's from their webpage because they--and in particular, this teacher--don't have a clue. They are not helping anyone by pretending to be able to help spec needs kids when they don't know how, don't have the training, and are too overworked to be able to follow through. Best of luck!
