A Rant!

Hi Everyone,
 I know that the last couple of posts have been about our family and our struggles and triumphs, but tonight I think I will go onto another subject regarding my dear son. So with someone that has sensory processing disorder they tend to have a difficult time being able to process emotions and changes to their routine or changing of people in their routine.

In September we through our son for a loop, and put him in preschool, the first week and a half were pretty rough on him, but having his one on one worker (that he worked with all summer) in his classroom seemed to help him get acquainted with routine so much easier. By the third week my son was doing amazing. He was sharing with kids in school, using his manners and even trying new foods. Then he would come home and he would share with his "precious" toys with his sister, giving her hugs and kisses, using his words and when he was told or even asked to do something he stayed amazingly calm and once again used his words, it was amazing. Then the company that this one on one worker, also has a one on one therapist for my son (whom he still does not trust), a family therapist whom he loves and a second one on one worker. For the sake of not confusing everyone we will use capitol letters for the one on one workers. The great one on one worker is M and the second one is F. My son still does not trust F enough to be able to fully work with him; and it is not even like I can tell them how they can earn his trust because everyone is so different, that is some thing that has to be established by my son. Then without telling me, they (meaning the company we are using) decided to not let me know that they were cycling out M and replacing him with F. Now my son has bitten his sister twice, smacked her, has become defiant in school and at home. He has started back talking and is now not using his words or sentences like he was. Now tell me please how this is a good transition and how I am supposed to just sit back and watch my son's trust be destroyed because they cannot give one thought of how this is going to affect my son in school and at home. They are supposed to helping him to succeed and yet it feels like they are setting him up to fail. Does that seem to make any sense to anyone? Not only that, why was I not notified before this happened? I am truly considering calling a meeting that consists of his bus drivers, his one on one workers, the two counselors and his teacher and the schools family advocate, oh and lets not forget the company workers main boss, who ironically my husband used to work for; and get them all together for a meeting. I mean seriously, I warned every single one of them, that if they went through with this, that this is what would happen, I am his mother and I know my son and what really affects him. Thanks for the rant, will be making a few phone calls tomorrow!
