[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746689, member: 18958"] After my son had his Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (he was older, at that time 22) and I had to go to work (requiring travel) I hired somebody to stay in the house with him. There is a period after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) when the patient is not to be alone, for risk of seizure. And guess what? He rode his bicycle! Without a helmet. And so we locked up his bicycle. And guess what? He smashed ours with a hammer. That was the single most destructive thing he has ever done. Which brings me to this: This is exactly my quandary and power struggle with my own son. There is no winning it. I would suggest that he have constant supervision while you are not there, possibly by hiring somebody. In combination with after school programs. Perhaps you can write this into an IEP. I forget his Special Education Status. But he has got to qualify for services. My own son was transported to a non-public school by taxi (it was 45 minutes away.) So with the school day being until approximately 3pm and the taxi ride, this was 8 hours of supervised time. One idea would be the IEP. [/QUOTE]
