What Do You Know...Another Phone Call

January 18, 2006

From the school social worker this time. I started college yesterday. My

hubby actually had to pick up for an appointment but the call was on my

voice mail this time and I saved it too. She said something to the effect

of how did not want to do any work and was laying on the floor and how

they wanted one of us to come in and sit with him because nothing else was

working. I am really glad I saved it though because I don't think she can

do that right? Can't they add to his behavior plan go to resource room?

Lucky for me his IEP meeting is Monday and I have an advocate that is going

to be there also. I have a digital tape recorder and was thinking about

taping the voice mail. Today I have 3 classes at school and I will be gone

all day long. My hubby has an eye doctor appointment and has one class

himself. All in the afternoon which is when they tend to call. Should I

just keep saving the voice mails? What can I do about this?

After the teachers at my son's school came back from the autism

spectrum training, they asked me NOT to go into my son's classroom

with him because transitions need to be very clear to him and if I am

there, he wants to follow 'home rules' not school rules. This is what

I tried to get them to understand when they tried to have me do the

same thing they are asking you for but they had to hear it from

'experts'.

A lot of your child's behaviors at school sound exactly like my son's

behaviors before the teachers and aide were properly trained. They

need to understand that the discipline methods they use on most of the

other kids only tend to escalate autism behaviors.
