    I'm so sorry to hear this Michaela.

    They rarely happen with the main teacher, but I sometimes get the feeling she is being pressured by others to send him.

    Since they rarely happen with the main teacher, there's something that's happening in her classroom that's *working* - can you pinpoint what the differences are? Then take that and try to come up with ideas re what can be done in the other classrooms?

    I'm going to pursue a note in the IEP that intervention is required to prevent situations where his stimming reaches a level that makes removal from the classroom necessary, and that, when required, a suitable quiet space with intellectual and social stimulation be provided to help him regain control.

    I'd also remind the school in your written communications that when your ds is taken out of the classroom to visit the office, he is missing out on classroom instruction that he should be receiving as his FAPE. He also shouldn't be being disciplined for his disability - he should be receiving *appropriate* accommodations.

    Sending lots of good wishes your way -

    Neither of my kids has ever been sent to the office though they both had one fairly major incident during their settling phase (in one case he misinterpreted the rules of the game because he thinks differently and forvthe younger he reacted violently to being teased) which were dealt with by the teacher. If I were the principal I would consider it a failure on the teacher's part to constantly send a kid to the office.

    More than once a month would concern me, once a week would be a major concern.
