| Well, thank you for letting me see it from a different perspective. You're right, she should have left the room and should have had an already established area where she should go to whenever she has a meltdown. I guess from a parent's point of view and upon reading that the teacher actually moved t... |

I would file a discriminatory complaint with OCR (Office of Civil Rights) naming the teacher and the school. He obviously needs some major training that the school needs to prov... |

| I would definitely see a neuropsychologist to get your son diagnosed. The test/evaluation should take practically all day. I would ask how long the evaluation is and if they say 1 or 2 hours, don't go and find yourself another doctor. The doctor should give you a list of resources if your son is dia... |
