[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 296633, member: 1991"] Shari, the deicion may well have been a sneak attack by Pretty Boy, but if the Learning Team endorsed it later, then it needs to be undone by them. But I am confused - surely YOU are a vital cog in this Team? Youcan't have an IEP meeting without the parent present, surely? In which case - you would have been there when the team upheld Pretty Boy's decision. YOu can still insist. The whole thing hinges on your permission. At least as I understand it. However, given his school anxiety, it may be worth giving either serious consideration to the partial option, or failing that (if you are convinced it would be a bad idea) you need to put iin writing exactly WHY it's a mistake. I recall there were problems with partial, but a lot of that was added difficulty stirred up by Pretty Boy (who really was a nasty piece of work). My reading of it - the partial attendance was a move by Pretty Boy to cut back on difficult child's attendance, to try to get his hours reduced and reducved further, to show that the school was trying to accomodate his needs but just couldn't keep going. It was a move towards getting difficult child thrown out. It wasn't a valid move at the time, but if done properly it can be very useful in transitioning a kid back in to a previously difficult environment. Certianly let tem know about his post-visit rage. I also think it was a let-down post-anxiety reaction. Sort of like a mother who just saw her child have a near-miss accident, grabbing her child in relief and scolding him. "You gave me such a fright - if you get killed I'll never speak to you again!" difficult child is going to need defusing space, he is going to need a bolt-hole at school (in time and space). This perhaps needs to be considered and accommodated as a priority. I would also use a Communicarion Book for him, to travel between you and his teacher (and the aides) on a daily basis. There are thigns happening here that need a too-rapid response and coordinated information and communication from everybody, if this is to work. Marg [/QUOTE]
