Sometimes I just get that gut feeling that something will go terribly wrong. It is part because I know of some hot issues right now and part because I just feel him (difficult child).
1. Didn't bounce out of bed as usually does
2. Principal over ran the IEP and behavior team when he saw one of the behaviors difficult child did (already taken care of by school people working with him, they told me to praise him for turning it around, I talked to him that day, etc. but principal found out a day later then decided to take action--ie suspension--this coming Friday.)
3. He is the ONE person at this school who does that, like he is saying....sorry special education professionals, sorry district team who comes weekly to work with the team and directly with the child, sorry asst. principal, sorry sp. ed. school discipline administrator, sorry brain trauma expert MOM brings in to help, sorry MOM, I am going to derail all your hard work and add to the plan.
4. He just doesn' t get that with brain injury this severe the behavior methods are different....mostly to avoid triggers and keep the person in a calmer state so what little control is left in their brain can work. Now with the increased anxiety over his schedule being changed he is likely to fall apart at school............WHAT THEN?????? he will do more of the verbal and physical aggression as he obsesses and perseverates on the change in routine....so what then????? he will just get more days kicked out.
We have been down this road so many times with so many schools it is just making me ill. I found out my BiPolar (BP) is high....no wonder.
Please God bring my little man some peace today so he can make it. It is the ONE day I have an appointment with a doctor. I have no insurance and no money to pay privately so if this clinic doesn't work out I am SOL and if I dont stay healthy who cares for little man?
fighting the tears....
