Just wondering - did you ever find out just what exaclty the OT was doing that caused the uncharacteristic reactions from Micah? Is it a particular skill or just her lack of recognizing his frustration?Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460029556086016004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-63074031487129248622009-04-01T10:01:00.000-04:002009-04-01T10:01:00.000-04:00Way to go new Principal!!

It really does make life go a lot smoother when you have people working with you who understand where you are coming from. Wow, that was a run on sentence!!

Of the 8 elementary schools in our district, mine is the one with the principal who doesn't get it and the teachers who are ... taking their direction from the top. And I wonder why I spent 50 minutes on the phone with a private school this afternoon.... Bonus, I think I just found out that I don't have to give up getting services from the district if I go to private school. Of course, I'd still prefer that that public school that all his buddies go to works out. Good luck with the new OT!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-11178253343528233172009-04-01T00:16:00.000-04:002009-04-01T00:16:00.000-04:00sometimes the stars align ... and it all works.thi...sometimes the stars align ... and it all works.<BR/><BR/>this looks like one of those times.the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-78750170904371093882009-03-31T23:21:00.000-04:002009-03-31T23:21:00.000-04:00You have such a nightmare of people and logistics!...You have such a nightmare of people and logistics! 2 principals to deal with?? Wowzers. An outside agency providing OT? Again, ouch! I'm so glad you were able to get some action in fast. Make sure to work with the team again so it doesn't happen with the next OT (even if the new OT has the best personality, if he is frustrated I'm guessing it could happen again?)CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537821831479150677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-66503951289978389192009-03-31T22:46:00.000-04:002009-03-31T22:46:00.000-04:00I'm glad you're getting good results.

I'm sure it's a frustration issue combined with something about that particular OT that he just didn't like. Anyway, glad it's resolved.KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236206776336550381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-55019271800394229252009-03-31T22:05:00.000-04:002009-03-31T22:05:00.000-04:00Wow.
