I don't know. I am just so scared - DS has been misundertsand and mislabled so much already and he's only in first grade. I may be way off base and a FBA and Behavioral Specialist would be great and would truly understand/be knowlegeable. But I just can't risk it. I am too scared for DS. I see the road that they seem to keep trying to drag him down and I truly believe it could be really really disasterous for DS and it scares the crap out of me.
I'm sorry it has been so tough for you. People are complicated creatures -- 2e kids more than most. I have trouble getting people to understand my older son as well. Maybe you can ask to meet with the behavioral specialist before you agree to the IEP? Make sure they have a sufficient understanding of your son's needs before he or she is allowed near them?
Will he still have a TA? Who will be instructing and coordinating them on his vision issues?
