Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I have my sons IEP tomorrow and need some other peoples opinions on how to approach a situation. My son has DS and Autism and has a couple toys he is attached to that he brings on the bus and puts away once he gets to school. Apparently now there is a problem about the toys he brings with for the bus ride as they are a distraction to the driver. He gets so over stimulated that these toys help him for the ride. They are not large or loud. A couple months ago, the bus driver told my babysitter that put my son on the bus that when my son screams out, he's non-verbal, it is also a distraction and if it doesn't stop, he'll have to find other transportation. I called the principal once I heard this and she was upset and took care of it. Now, we have the current issue regarding the toys and I called the new principal who has been at the school for 2 weeks and her argument was that well if she let my son bring a toy, then every child would want to. He's a special bus and maybe rides with 1 or 2 kids. I tried to explain to her how Autism works and didn't get really far with her. I'm sure I'm missing important points, but I'm so mad right now and want to be prepared when I go for his IEP tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
