Learned helplessness? How insulting! The classic experiment involves repeated pain that cannot be escaped until the animal gives up and sees itself as being unable to control its situation. Sounds like the teacher intends to teach learned helplessness by compelling him to continue to experience pain when he has communicated that he hurts and requested appropriate accomodations. Personally, I would be compelled to school her on that point.

Beyond hoping the psychologist has her stuff together and you have an ally to work with, I got no non-violent suggestions.
