[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 698827, member: 20727"] The meeting with the school psy and speech therapist went well. I've meet with them before and They are both really great people and seem to "get" these kids. We went over the "ADHD and Autism book" pretty much more fill in the bubble stuff but with them asking me questions and filling in the bubble themselves while taking notes. Ive had my son home with me since Thursdays incident. Apparently they didn't suspend him on paper again. They thought in school suspension would be better for him but never told me that was the actual plan until I called several times today and finally got a hold of the principal. I explained to him AGAIN that punishment needs to be immediate and consistent, not the next day. I got the basic "we have policy's and take this seriously babble". I told him what works for typical kids will not work for mine and to come up with a better plan for next time. If he does something violent or completely outrageous again he can spend the rest of the SAME day in ISS for everyone's safety. But not the next day. I get there has to be consequences for his actions and bad choices but I'm still not convinced that the extreme behavior is a conscious choice. What leads up to these behaviors I do believe is his own bad choices most of the time. (refusing to participate and telling the teacher no.) I called the director of campus operations today and he seemed just as pissed as me about the calling the police thing. The counsler that was with him did not know him at all or anything about him. all she knew was he was getting violent and the para said they where not allowed to restrain him. (me personally I would of been standing on the OTHER side on the glass door and let him kick the door not me.) I would of thought the para that is with him all day would know its in his behavior plan to call me as soon as there is or it looks like there's going to be an issue but i guess not. I got A bunch of apologies etc. and the it will never happen again speech. He begged me not to pull him out again and they will figure it out and help him succeed. We will see I guess. I'm also not sure removing him from school is the right choice for the long run either. I know that for the short term it is the easy way out for both of us and that's usually always the wrong choice. Its so hard to think of him being miserable all day in a place that brings out the absolute worst in him but he keeps saying he wants to go to school. He has his evaluation with the psy tomorrow in the classroom setting. I'm sure that will give us way more insight as to whats going on.
