yes Mr DSD and I just came back a few minutes ago with it. The principal joined the meeting as well. It sounds like they knew why we were ging there in the first place.
Things went fairly well but only time will tell. They listened well, offered insight to the situation with this kid, and promised that more vigilance betwen the children would be placed. As well, they explained that while the child was hitting was not for anger but his way of communicating, they are trying and will try harder to teach him alternative methods. They're also going to be working with the class to explain more about the childs lack of verbal communication andhelp them understand he is not intending to be mean. The teacher will be watching very closely at my son and this child and keep them seperated.
Unfortunately this other child has PT, ST, and other therepys that he goes to on the days my son is in school and can not be tranferred out. Our only other option would be to switch our sons days of schooling, but he would then lose his other friends he has there. One of his friends had already transfered from the alternate days to his day so they could be together. But if it would make our son less scared of school we would offer him the choice.
We left it that we would hold monthly meetings with the principal and teacher to ensure that everything was being done in their power to keep my son from being hit, and losing his enthusiasm for school because of this child.
