[QUOTE="Ivy, post: 376665"] You know, reading this was like having a huge weight lifted off my back. I feel like I'm going to get an ulcer if I keep this up, but what you said is so true- I worry because I'm afraid if I stop worrying and relax between bad days, then the next bad day will feel like a punch in the guts. I hate conflict so much and I'm not looking forward to having to get adversarial with teachers/school officials. I hope it's never necessary. Thanks to all who have replied. This week has been better and the teacher has been much more accommodating and less confrontational. I guess she felt bad about having met me at pickup after the VERY FIRST DAY of Kindergarten with a laundry list of everything he had done wrong that "nobody told her" would happen. Or, maybe she knew she had messed up by being confrontational about an autistic student's fairly normal autism behaviors and wanted to clean up her act, which I wholly support. I didn't realize that funding was not a consideration for services in an IEP, but it makes sense that it shouldn't be otherwise they could just say "We don't have the funding for that" no matter what it was. I was trying to figure out a non-confrontational way to call another IEP meeting since the things we discussed in May seem to need readdressing. Imagine my relief today when his teacher asked if I wanted to have another IEP team meeting in September, since his Easy Child teacher was not present for the first one. In short: WHEW. Calgon take me away! [/QUOTE]
