[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should be aware that having a child with this number of suspensions is not an infrequent issue. This is predictably frequent and very detrimental to your child.

Suspension is completely inappropriate and may be damaging to your child's self esteem and desire to be in school. Please escalate this with your school. I would request an autism consult (if this is MCPS). This is where the Autism Specialists are brought in to consult with the school team on how best to serve your child.

This happened with my child. We eventually had him placed in the Aspergers Program. His meltdowns were more frequent though (daily meltdowns involving crying and work refusal). But I threw an absolute fit when the school disciplined my child for his tantrums vs putting supports in place that helped him.

NP. I wish I had been this knowledgable and brave when this happened to my child. It took me a really long time to figure out how horribly this was impacting my child. Thank you for posting this advice. OP, please consider doing this. My heart goes out to you and your child.[/quote]
