I went to the administration's employment office and pulled their job descriptions, and then asked for a 5 minute meeting and read it to her. Told her I was very very confused why my son had to get an F if she could not do what her position called for. And at that juncture, gracefully and with a smile, offered to do her job with my son for her as a volunteer, on the premise to roll model for her, stating that I had been doing it for her at home up until recently. Im not saying I was successful with this at this time, however, it became part of our plan that when someone at school couldnt figure out how to accomplish helping Catlin that I was called in for a few hours to do it there where we could all know what works. It wasnt a lot of work to go there and shadow him and rolemodel the assistance, but occassionally it was hard to be sure I knew how and had to continually study and try out methods with other kids that needed help. I guess this is how I ended up in college taking psychology, and networking other professionals that I had access to who were very good at this. > Dear , > This is a " support facilitator " who says that if your son doesn't turn in > his project, he will suffer the consequences?
