[QUOTE="Shari, post: 265073, member: 1848"] UpAllNight - My son has sleep issues. Somestimes he falls asleep at 4pm and sleeps all night. Other times he won't sleep at all thru the night and will be fine all thru the next day, as well. We've done sleep studies, etc, trying to find a cause, but thus far have not. *** The 2 days he fell asleep at school were after he'd gone to sleep around 7pm the nights before. He did not fall asleep at school the day after we went to the movie. *** His sleep problems and their impact at school are addressed in the IEP, yet the principal decided he didn't like it on Wednesday and called me to come get difficult child, instead of doing what the IEP says. The para, it seems, was standing outside the room where difficult child was sleeping reading a newspaper. Apparently, principal didn't like that. *** He also blames me for difficult child's sleep problems. It surely HAS to be something I am doing at home that is making him overly tired. *** FWIW, this same principal decided difficult child would only go to school half days, also. And when we started to lengthen his day, the school is not providing a 1:1 for that time " I'm leaving work every day to go to school to be my child's para for an hour and a half because the school won't provide one that can/will work with my son during that time. *** I don't want my son at school sleeping. However, since principal decided he only goes half days and they are not giving him any tutoring outside of school hours, he cant afford to waste time not being there when he does wake up. He rarely sleeps more than 15-30 minutes " it would take me longer to get there to get him than he usually sleeps. Besides that, both times this week that he fell asleep was after they locked him in the little closet/aka safe room for misbehaving.
