The answer should be yes. Not "how can I get my loved one help?"

Pulbic to news media or not?

Fox News Channel

I have been advised to take our story regarding David public.
To CNN and FoxNews.  IThe CNN Center in Atlanta.n regards to how No Child Left Behind and the Garrison School District have conspired against educating our son in the home district under the guise of “we are unable to provide the services that his needs require…”  How is shuttling him 58 miles each way to a school in another district considered least restrictive?

What say you?  I am not an attention seeking man. I would rather seek the path of diplomacy.  But when diplomacy fails, what path is one left with?

What is the difference between facilitation and mediation?

We have had a facilitated IEP, and now the school is calling for a Mediated IEP.  What is the difference?  Or do we skip it all and go right to Due Process.  There are those who also think that we should file a law suit against the district.

I am torn. I will be meeting with all of the care providers in David’s case over the coming week to make a decision regarding this.

Mr Gadget strikes again

 

Well, David has struck again.  the gadget hoarder.  A couple of weeks ago he stole a cell phone from his aunt.  We took it away.  he stole it again.  We took it away. We hid it in a room behind a locked door.  and he got it again. (went into the room when said occupant was sleeping..  Today I caught him right under my nose using his brother’s tablet computer.  No idea how he took it away from the place in my desk where it was stored without me knowing about it, but he did.

Oh, and he took my stash of gum.  ate all of it in one 4 hour period.  I am not blind, so how did I now notice this?

less challenges

David has been less challenging today.  It may be because Mom was home from work today.

Have calls out to the psych team regarding him forcing himself to vomit up his meds.  The primary psychiatrist is on vacation until the 14th.  Just waiting to hear back from the nurse.

What kind of plan do doctor’s have for when they go on vacation?  Surely they have someone who follows or can work with their case load while they are absent.
