Well NP says to head to a 504 because we will get it in place faster and he needs something now.
I have to meet with his teacher when I get back... I think I will talk to her about his "therapeutic goals" for his anxiety and explain the importance of her support with that. I will be emphasizing the importance of him recognizing and expressing his actual emotions and handling them in a age appropriate and socially appropriate way.
Thanks for helping me get my words together. I was so shocked and angry when it happened... I needed to regroup here before I head back in to the trenches.
Amy-- I think there is a good chance that we can move him out of her class when we address his learning needs... He doesn't belong in her grade level. In the meantime I just want to contain her a bit from doing additional damage.
