My email resulted in a call this afternoon. The school to home communication is messed up. James is back to having an aide that does not know how to deal with him. There may be another aid in a couple of weeks.

When did the parent become the quarterback, calling the plays that need to go through at school?

Then two more calls in response to different email. The ABA services provider got more frustrated than me, trying to set up 3 more intake session before we could even think of matching my son to an actual person. They are based an hour away from us and returned the referral. They did try, but on a bad day, one of us would have had to travel 45 miles in a trip that can take up to 2 hours one way.

Back to square one, where we were in October. We may get to start up again in a month.

To paraphrase this excellent article "Why is every step a fight?"
