[QUOTE="JLady, post: 260678, member: 6439"] Sage.. where do you get the advocate? I did talk with the VP this afternoon. She was on the phone with me for over an hour. We talked about the teacher and how my difficult child has been given rules and then the teacher hasn't lived up to her side of the agreements. Like yesterday.... The rule is that if he stays in EIP reading the entire time without being sent back to the regular classroom, he gets a reward. He stayed in reading the entire time but wasn't behaving and the reading teacher made him sit and stay. When he got back to his class he wanted his reward because he was there the entire time. She told him NO because he didn't behave. The VP understands that this isn't a condition of the rule. The teacher doesn't. STRIKE ONE My difficult child has a pair of gloves that are always on his hands or in his pocket. I guess these serve as some sort of security for him. Since he was having a meltdown about not getting his reward she took his gloves away from him. STRIKE TWO They have a smiley face system. If he loses all 3 smiley faces, an administrator is called to the room to come and get him. After she took his gloves he told her he was going to stab her. She called an administrator. He had 2 smiley faces left on the board. STRIKE THREE. Some of this information I had form the teacher and the VP filled in the rest. She explained to me how difficult child had been violated 3 times in a short period of time and that his needs of least resistant environment wasn't being met. We compared notes on the teacher and came up with a plan. I admited that I don't have any answers. I'm just learning about all this but I need support not more problems. I need them to work with me and to help me. I can't do this alone. We have 7 items on the plan that will be addressed immediately. Things that should make difficult child feel more secure. I'm really glad the VP gets it and I hope she can get the teacher whatever she needs in resources. Being so far into the year we both agreed that moving difficult child would just cause him more issues. He will however be given the new right of turning in a power card when he is losing control and without any questions being asked, he will be able to go to another teacher that really does well with him. This other teacher is a Special Education teacher and she will give him her attention any time that he needs it. That is what the VP said. I hope so. I can screem pretty loud. Especially when it comes to my precious boy. difficult children really are special aren't they? I think I'm beginning to see how blessed we are to have them. [/QUOTE]
