you are the best advocate
go see the parnets of the child see what problems they have had with this behaviour and tell them that there son needs to be taught what is and is not approprieate
i find approaching the parents gets a lot more sorted out than waiting for schools to pull there finger out of there butt
if he has special needs he will not have known he shouldn't have touched her,he may have just seeing what the differance was
I AM NOT MAKING EXCUSES FOR THE BOY it was a terrable thing to happen to you daughter and i send hugs to her
social stories can help and visuals.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.
Tzoya often recommends COPAA (Council of Parents, Attorneys and Advocates) for finding an attorney or advocate.
Best wishes to you.

Last month my little girl Brianna was inappropriately touched on the school bus by a six grader with special needs and she is only six years old and she was scared to go on the bus so they took the boy of the bus and she seemed to do better until this week she is scared to go back to school so i talked to her psychiatist and he told me that all of her anxiety come back when confronted with places and people that remind her of what happened to her.So i am trying to get her out of that school and placing her in a new school so she can feel safe again. But the school psy. is giving me a hard time because i am trying to get her in a school that will help her with her sensary issues and the psy. doesn't belive that bri. has autism i have been fighting with the school to add autism since the first week of school i even have melmed center diagnoising her with autism, I even have her psychiatist dx her with autism, and her ped.is dx. her with autism and i faxed him all the dx.and made copes for myself and he called me and wants to bring in his psy to make sure she has autism.I cant belive every thing my little girls been through with this school that they cant make this easy for me but i can tell you one thing i am not giving up until my little girl get want she needs and i am going to get a homebond teacher until we get her in a new school were she is far away from that boy.
