Exactly! Plus, since Abbie attends a private school, it is NOT held to IDEA and they do not have to follow any IEP. They can say she needs to be placed away from peers, until she learns not to grab others foods.. If she continues to meltdown and have issues away from others, because she knows they are eating and cannot get to them, then they need to call A&P to pick her up from school...Especially seeing as JSA has asked them, at least twice that we know of, to work on her food grabbing. They were probably trying to be polite about it, too. I would be furious if I were JSA.
Asa was pissed with them for having Abbie face a black panel on a wall away from everyone else while learning. You know he will throw a fit if it ends up that Abbie has to eat her lunch alone in a separate room to deal with the food grabbing.
In our area, we have very few special needs private schools but the 2 that we have, would not tolerate this behavior from a student and our public schools definitely wouldn’t (I know, I have subbed in those schools)... We actually had to send one home because of food grabbing...
My youngest son likes to hover sometimes over people and wait to see if they are going to eat all their food... We don’t even tolerate that behavior and he does get disciplined and has consequences for it, when we see it happening... I expect our kids to have appropriate table manners though...
