We just withdrew our 5 year old daughter from her school ! It was a complete nightmare!! She’s now home schooled and it was the best decision ever !!! She’s so much happier !!! And so am I if you have any question about school or home school let me know I can try and help you

No, they don't allow parents in the school for safety reasons. That's why he has a paraprofessional with him the entire day but he doesn't know how to handle him...

Also, this may even be hard to do as well but are you able to sit with him in his class to help him understand that he is safe?
