>A fantastic day

> our son has been home for a home visit for 24 hours now. It has been great having him here. No outbursts, he is playing nicely with others, and we are overjoyed with having all of our children under the same roof. As it stands right now, he will be discharged from the residential facility on the 13th of January. Steps are being taken by us and the staff of the agency that runs the facility to transition him into the public school and our home. We are working on lining up respite care, and after care. His psychiatrist is going to treat him again. Through the Christmas break, he will be home periodically, he can’t be home for the whole two weeks because of insurance issues. So we can have him for a couple three days at a time. Tweet #fighting4answrs

As soon as we started talking about it, the principal piped up and said “public school may not be the best place for him”. the principal was pissed off that my wife and I refused to let a consultant for the school district sit in on the conference call. Plus, we asked for the special education teacher that our son will be working with to be a participant in the next meeting. We were told that the principal couldn’t guarantee that. The principal said that she would see. We set up our meetings a month in advance, how hard would it be to schedule a conference call for a specific teacher? Turns out that the principal might not be able to make that meeting because she has been elected the President of the Chamber of Commerce in our
