Does he have an IEP that says he needs a 1 on 1? It seems that should over ride

anything the teacher suggests. Contact the closest Georgia Autism Society

chapter to see if they know of someone who can help. You may also want to get

with his doctor to see if he can write a letter saying he needs his 1 on 1 back

for his well being. I don't know of any attorneys in the Augusta area that

handle this, but I know a few lawyers, and I can see if they know someone who

does. Feel free to email me directly. Good luck!

Dr. Montgomery of Reinforcement

Unlimited in Woodstock, GA. Call him re: going to the intervention

plan with you on 1/21! I am sure you will have to meet with him first to go

over the details, but it is my understanding that this is part of what he does.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
