Lizzie,

I am curious to know what they are using there, as in the case I'm

working on in FL. they are basically just using restraint after

Maladaptive behaviors show up.. and no real program at all. I do

agree with you especially after reviewing this case that ANY program

that has at least some 'cudo's' is better then nothing. What were

they doing ? The same CPI restraint program I'm dealing with in this

case I'm working on... I find it atrocious that some of the

Administrations not just in FL. but all over will use extreme

intimidation against parents. Targeting single mothers is even

worse..this case was a 4.5 hour 'half' IEP... then they rudely hung up

on me (there was a local somewhat silent advocate and I was via

teleconference and I'm not at all silent !). In this case after the

local advocate left and after they hung up on me they changed the date

of the completion of the IEP to Monday..and I just did this friday

!!!! It was scheduled to be completed on the 23rd of Jan so the

Behavorist that just did the FBA could make some changes and the

school psychologist could meet with the child several more times and

complete her report. As well the Man*cough*, or the Principal I

should say because I'm not sure if he is a MAN, made a teleconference

appt. with me on this coming Wed. . Then after the meeting was over

he coerced the mother into signing a statement waiving her right to 10

days notice (I don't believe a principal can change fed law with a

statement), and to hold the meeting on Mon.. in about 40 hours from

now - overriding the Behavorists and the Dist. Psychologists requests

to change things in Assesments and to have more time to be with the

child. This kind of activity must stop. The mother is 'sick' so she

won't be there Monday..but I WILL..by teleconference. So, their

attempt to block out Advocacy failed this time. What about the next

mother that doesn't realize she's being set up ? Is this 'normal' in

your state Lizzie ? I must say that it was one of the most

unprofessional things I have ever seen an Administrator do in regards

to IEP's - I've seen them do much worse 'in action' all over the nation.

I have a hard time understanding how a non complying school district

hat lies behind the back of another professional working with the can

turn into that kind of topic !!! This isn't about sexual gender to

whoever said that.. This is about our children being treated like

caged animals. I don't like that and I don't like a MAN that can't

keep his word. I also don't like a MAN that promises another MAN that

he will do something then lies behind his back the first moment he

gets... that is not HU MAN....that's just sick when it effects a

child with a disability.

want to call me gender biased ?) I would think not. Thank you.

REMEMBER ITS NOT About you nor is it about me.. it's about that future

person to be.. our children...a sacred thing to me.
