[QUOTE="nvts, post: 145243, member: 3814"] I don't know if you've been reading, but we've been having trouble with difficult child 1's school situation. I fianlly got fed up (3 days on a new medication, Abilify and they wanted us to put him in the psychiatric hospital. for a medication wash). Every time he acts up, they start tacking on a new "in addition to" diagnosis, yet when I ask about the vilidity of keeping him on the Concerta, I get "I don't want to take a chance of taking him off a medication YET". What the h-e-double hockey sticks?!! I've been asking this question for 1.5 years! I told them yesterday, I'm looking into a new school. It flat out told them that they failed and damaged this child, that their indecisiveness and rigid disciplinary actions caused further damage. I told them that they would constantly ask for advise, yet failed to act on any and all issues that could have been handled with little to no effort. I told them that the "root cause" of his issues had never, ever been addressed (the Aspergers issues) and that they were not only "reaction based" as opposed to proactive and this is where the major disconnect was. They restrained him leaving bruises on his spine along with rug burns on his chin, which meant a grown man sat on a skinny little 9 yr. old, held his face into the rug, and pushed down on his neckbone with his thumb. But hey! He was cursing! I am deflated, exhausted and sick and tired of fighting the fight. I still will do it, but I'm desperately looking for the "funny" that always makes it easier. Maybe if he'd kicked them in the ... hmmm, maybe I'll get somewhere with [I]that[/I] chain of thought! Beth [/QUOTE]
