LOL, good for you! Good for him!! When I read your post I wondered

if he has a problem with the resource teacher, who was absent?

I doubt that's really an issue. She's only been in the picture for about

two months of school days. And he's been having some degree of " problems "

in school since day one of preschool.

Glad he had a good day! Could it be the reg teacher is better than

the RSP one? Hunter printed out his letters as practice the other

day. It was excellent for him, but it took time. I wish I could get

him OT. He does NOT get time in class. So to compensate in order to

get the work completed his writing is barely readable then that

affects his grades. Argh. Anyways this was supose to be a happy post.

lol. I am glad he had a great day! a

I suppose but I was thinking more along the lines of her personality

or her way of trying to help him. I notice my ds has certain types

of people that he automatically turns away from. I suppose we all do

to some degree but it seems to matter more to my ds. If this

resource teacher (who may well be very nice and good at her job) just

doesn't click with your ds, it might cause him problems.

I talked to the RSP teacher again this morning. From what I

understand, it's not the big crisis that it was on Monday.

Since Wednesday is a short day for all, she did not work with

my son yesterday. She will this afternoon and continue to assess

the situation.

She has a special ed meeting with administrators this afternoon, and

will push for the FBA and check up on the OT eval. (I have to write

another letter, too.) She does not want him pulled out, but if he is

SO disruptive, they have to come up with more of a plan because at

some point it becomes unfair to the rest of the students. (They have

to figure out how to structure things so he can succeed!)

He doesn't fit into the Special Day Class model. She said in broad

terms that *maybe* a change in environment might be what would be

part of the solution. A new school opened last year that took a

chunk of students from our school, but the new school is still about

1/3 the size of ours. The two schools are equidistant from our house-

-about a mile each. But we are clearly in the boundaries for our

current school, so she's not sure what the principal (same for both

schools) would say about that. They would also want to move my

younger son.

I dunno, he is not too hip on change.

I think the last two days have gone okay. He said he got a little

upset yesterday because the story they were reading for a workbook

exercise was about a kid who had his appendix removed. When I was 9,

I didn't like hearing about that stuff, either. But he said he just

tried to overcome it himself. Their science unit is about cells, up

to organ systems, and he's a little squeamish about that, too. He

was very enthusiastic when they dissected squids on a field trip last

year. But I don't really think he's comfortable with human insides,

especially when you talk about them not working.

We have his pediatrician's appt today, and I purposely did not remind

him, or he's worry about it all day.

I am not sure which is my worse--finding out he does have AS, or

finding out he doesn't.

Least restrictive environment would mean they would be required to

do an FBA and create a Positive Behavior Plan and provide an aide

before removing him to the MORE restrictive environment of special

day. But, you will have to make them.

Not sure what state you are in, but in CA, if they refuse an FBA,

then they must take the parents to due process and explain to a

Hearing Officer why. They usually just do the FBA because it is

cheaper. Check your state regs.

I am in California, so I will keep that in mind.
