[QUOTE="babybear, post: 91762, member: 2712"] We had the same type of trip planned when difficult child was in 4th grade. My first thought was no way would it work. Her teacher and her case manager talked me into it, saying they would work it out somehow. About a week before the trip they decided it wouldn't work and she did not go. It was so much more traumatic, for both of us, than it needed to be. If I had it to do over again I would have stuck with no from the beginning. However, me going was never an option. I think that it would have been too much for her even if I was there. Too much of a change in routine, plus no familiar place to unwind at the end of the day. I don't think it would have gone well at all. [/QUOTE]
