[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel for you and your son--it sounds like he has gotten some very unfair and cruel treatment. I will note one small thing: kids don't always realize when other kids have special needs, or what they mean. In early elementary, my son was wondering why one boy got "special treatment" in class--different chair, a rewards chart that other kids didn't have, less stringent discipline (in his eyes). I fully appreciate that it would be inappropriate to announce "Johnny's" diagnosis and tell the kids why he has additional supports at school. But what then are the other kids supposed to think when they see "special treatment" of Johnny? Once my son brought it up, I could have a conversation with him, but what should I tell him other than that Johnny must have different needs and that I am sure that the teacher is doing what was best for Johnny?[/quote]
