[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher perspective, having worked at a private and now at public: we’ve tried everything on our end and we can’t get the student to stop doing whatever the difficult thing is. All we can do is send them to the office, and in the office they call parents. [b]We need your help to make it stop[/b] and we’re grasping at straws. We want to inconvenience you enough that you make a big deal out of it so [b]maybe the kid finally quits doing whatever the thing is that’s offensive[/b]. [/quote]

Teacher perspective, with all due respect, that's way easier said than done.

Autism and ADHD are neurological disorders.  One does not just decide to behave well or not.

Can you make a blind person quit not being able to see...like ask them to try harder at seeing?  
Or a person with loss of hearing be able to hear?

It does not work that way.

Autism and ADHD are not just flip a switch and once you tell them "that's annoying" they just go, OK, and stop.   
It does not work that way here either.  If it did, that would be incredible!   And yet here we are.

OP, please consider leaving this small private before they counsel you out (or maybe you are full pay and they need your money).   Go to a public.  They will still call you, and call you, and email you there too (ask me how I know).   Sooner or later you will get an IEP for your student and hopefully it will be one piece of the puzzle in finding success.  Good luck![/quote]

Well Said and the issue in schools across the country is that neither teachers not administration have any special training in teaching children with these disorders. It's outrageous that children can be taught by people who don't understand the first thing about their disability. In fact too many don't recognize that it is a disability at all.[/quote]
