We had several good weeks with the new behavior mod idea, but...he destroyed the gym on Thursday. He had started not to care so much about getting ice cream at home. I was prepared for that and have asked what other something he would like but haven't gotten an answer yet.
His teacher will be on medical leave in a few days but Marcus seems okay about it. Remember that, for Marcus, all change is bad so I am worried about such a big change. While the teacher may not think so, Marcus really likes him and his leaving will likely be upsetting. However, Marcus knows the sub. Mostly he's worried about Mr. Anderson. He really is a tender soul once you get past the tantrums.
Got some really helpful comments about whether we should head back to residential placement. So far, everyone thinks we should do it. When we had a string of good days, I got cold feet. But, we are going ahead with the process, meaning we have tons of paperwork to fill out and then we have to see whether OMH will approve it. If they don't, we'll try going to CSE. Either way, there has to be a spot in residential so we may have a long wait time. Marcus was trying not to go by focusing on staying cool at school, but that seems to have been too much for him. We'll have to see what next week holds, then it's winter break.
