That's It...We aren't going to take this any more



Well, we have finally done it. We are going to sue for private placement and compensatory services for this past year that "Redd" has missed out on. We are waiting to hear from an Educational Consultant to observe the classroom "they" recommended - which of course are completely inadequate - not to mention the fact that a kid who tortured him all of kindergarden and 1st grade would be in his class, not his grade, his *CLASS*.
Just to mention this kid's name causes this visceral response in Redd. He got so upset, then said "I never have to think about her again, she is so, so, so out of my life now. I never want to think about her again. Can we change the subject mom".
So...there is no way in hell that I will put him in that position. Not only that but it's no secret that even thought this is a "great" program, that it is what it is, a behavioural program. And when you have a kid that has no concept of social pragmatics and relies on modeling to learn, you don't put him in a "behavioural" program.

Deep cleansing breaths. Again, today Redd was excluded at school. His little sister "the bean" had a presentation in class. Many of the 1st grader's siblings are in Redd's class and they were invited to the classroom. Redd was somehow "out of the loop" that's the term they are using these days. Instead admitting that he has been "excluded", they say "out of the loop".
The Bean did a great job, I can see her on Broadway in no time...
