I have always felt that his resource room was also a refuge. I spoke with his Special Education teacher at pick up time time today and asked her about collabertive. Her last job was just that.

I appreciate all the information RTI, this is the first time I have heard of it. You've given me some things to think about. Thank you. Sheila, collaberative, in this instance, means the Special Education teacher coming in the room with difficult child, and any other student who needs him/her during mainstream classes. There is a 5th period built into the schedule for all students, and those with IEPs use that time for "resource" type attention from Special Education teachers and help with homework. I'm waiting to speak to the other mom who had a meeting at the school today with both the principal and the Special Education director. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know what I find out.
