[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 520218, member: 1233"] I do think the administrator was totally inappropriate in the way he spoke to the mother. I do NOT see why the mom could not get a note from the dr saying the girl should be in her walker not a wheelchair. There ARE legal issues here and they probably DO need something from the doctor saying she is safe to use the walker with-o the leg braces or the with the leg braces if she is not in the wheelchair. If the ONLY thing they have from the doctor is that she is to be in a wheelchair, then there ARE rules that say they have to follow that. I DO think they are wrong to let that admin be anywhere NEAR this family, but I also think that a note from teh dr would fix this fast. But this is EXACTLY why I flat out REFUSED to move to TX when husband had a good job offer there. They are NOTORIOUS for not working iwth families of sped kids or kids who are different in any way. We have a friend who moved from a small town in TX when they refused to put their sons on stims - EVERY child in the elem school was on them. The school actually sent people to the classrooms with medications every so many hours because the kds were all on the same medications rx'd by the same 2 docs in town. The town later made headlines for a short period of time because one parent tried to take her kdis off the medications and the school filed charges. This seems very typical for TX to me. I also don't see why the mom doesn't just get a dr note, it seems like it would solve things. The school seems to be saying they want that note, and we had to provide that even for my kids to take crutches to school after a knee injury or badly sprained ankle. The admin was terribly offensive though, and certainly needs to be moved and retrained. I do applaud the mom for standing up for her kid. [/QUOTE]
