[QUOTE="Shari, post: 341003, member: 1848"] At this point, its hard to say why he's not going, for sure. Today, the SpEd teacher is there, but mainstream is gone, and he struggles when ANY person from that core team is gone. Then there's the Malory issue...she's in the classroom. He did not go to school from Tuesday of last week to Wednesday of this week and the first thing out of his mouth Wednesday morning was Malory will be there and he'll get in trouble cause she makes him so mad. Part of the problem? I don't know. And then there's the fact that the SpEd teacher can almost always handle him. He has been flying off the handle in Occupational Therapist (OT). Not sure about today, but based on timing, that may have been where he was. There are a lot of transitions for him in the morning, even tho the number of people has finally been limited. I take him to class in the morning and stay til SpEd gets there. She does 15 min with him then the para comes. They stay in mainstream for an hour or so, then he's pulled to go to SpEd for 30 min. Then Occupational Therapist (OT). Then back to mainstream with the para for 30 min, then lunch, then recess, then specials (sometimes two specials in an hour) then SpEd takes him for the entire afternoon. Pretty much, if we make it to the afternoon, we're gold. We met with his DevPed last year. This year's SpEd teacher was part of the meeting. A NUMBER ONE PRIOROTY is DON'T LET HIM GET TICKED OFF. I don't know how to teach everyone involved how to NOT do that....I still think it boils down to that, but I don't know how to teach them to handle situations otherwise. He currently has a 1:1 thru the day. It is one person in the am and another in the pm, but I can deal with that. I think one person all day would be better, but he didn't even make it to the para switch today, or last week, when we had to pick him up. I know they have to prrovide him an education. I know they can't keep sending him home. But having him at school spitting on people and hitting the walls, in my humble opinion, is counterproductive to everything...if we don't get him out of there, he blows and starts hitting people, and that can't happen, either...yet something keeps pushing him to that point and that's what he ends up doing.
