[quote=Anonymous]OP you mention that your daughter is in therapy, what does the therapist say about the school reports?

I agree with others that the school seems to be taking an odd approach and seems like more what a private school would do. My concern would be that the engagement by the teacher when your child is upset is escalating the behaviors. Also the punishment for the behavior doesn’t fit either. I understand it’s disruptive to leave the class but she seems to be doing it when she’s upset/stressed versus being a belligerent brat. And yet she’s being treated as if she’s a brat. It sounds like your child puts herself into a self imposed timeout until she is able to communicate again.

How did her preschool handle these behaviors? Could she return to the preschool foe the rest of the year and try Kindergarten again next year? She might need more time and therapy to work on school participation. That would also get your time and involvement to determine if your child needs an IEP. [/quote]
