[QUOTE="CookiesKid, post: 94689, member: 4271"] Thank you everyone for all of your replies and advice. It is very much appreciated. I am still feeling a combination of sadness and anger this morning, but after sleeping on it I realized that there are several factors that led to the aide quitting. Everyone involved can learn plenty from this and move forward, and that's what I intend to do. I found out yesterday at our meeting that the school has finally gotten the behavioral specialist involved, and she's apparently been quite helpful. But they really should have sought her help sooner, for their own sake as well as for my son's. I'm just glad that they finally asked for her assistance and that she's been helpful. I am going to look into alternative placements for my son so that I will have some choices. I can't make any informed decisions without knowing the alternatives. So, I've got some work to do. Thank you for reminding me of the law. Thank goodness for the Special Education laws we have now. Where would we be without them? Things at school are going to get interesting now because the aide's last day will be Friday. Right now I have no idea who my son's aide will be after that. The principal warned me that there will probably be "substitute" aides until he can hire someone else. That should be interesting. I will do my best to keep an open mind and stay positive. Who knows? Maybe this will all turn out to be a good thing in the long run. Thanks again, everyone. [/QUOTE]
