I had asked teacher for an update and told her he was earning MOA with his Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker. He goes there often three times per week. this week I put a hold on it because he got so aggressive with me when leaving and even before that day he had done the same with his Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker twice the previous week when leaving there. SO, I said, if he did not have to come home due to aggression he could earn it on Friday...

OMGosh, are you kidding me... they have him hidden in a little room with rare lunch moments with friends, and is not allowed to swim and can't go to the high school with the other kids to see where he is slated to go and I am depriving him of fun. DO you KNOW how many activities I take this kid to, how many dinners out he earns? Parks, stores, nature centers, horseback riding, in warm weather, swimming, water parks, ice skating now, .... really??? we rarely are home when I dont have Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) breaks. that is 12 hours a week.... and THEY take him to a zillion places, the library, the teen center, MOA, and tours of places he is interested in.... ugggg.... This is not a deprived kid.
And the irony is that at his elementary school the principal, psychiatric, and staff there would say and write .... IF I would only pick MEANINGFUL consequences, then he would not have so many behaviors.
Really I dont think earning a privelege....is such a traumatic issue. Especially if he had not earned MOA he woudl have gone to the local huge mall instead! Holy Heck.
This has been a week of beating me down I feel.

Hi Qmom,
Q had a lot of green moments today, as well as some yellow periods of time. I do not want to have his disability of not being able to always stay in the green zone hold him back from fun opportunities. Hes a good kid and deserves some fun activities throughout his day, week or life.
