[QUOTE="SRL, post: 15811, member: 701"] Andrea, my son has this exact issue and we went through this at school a few years back. Between the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and the rigidity he would come home really worked up--basically it was one of those deal breaker issues. Now that he's older if he's reasonably dressed they pretty much leave him alone plus besides by upper elementary the other boys are far more lax in bundling up. What I would recommend doing is contacting your school Occupational Therapist (OT) and see if she can intervene so it's not you against the teacher, you against the playground supervisor, etc. Honestly sometimes the teachers should just chill out--most kids aren't going to get hypothermia while waiting for the bus for two minutes. More likely overheated... If you have many of these issues piling up, do call an IEP meeting. From your end if you can work out a layering system that he can use consistently, he feels comfortable in, and that everyone recognizes it would be better over the long haul. I use a Land's End hooded sweatshirt with a Land's End zipper up fleece coat over it, both because the fabrics are soft but also because I'm more likely to find a similar replacement when he outgrows the current models.
