My son Was put in a “child hold” position which means he was held down for at least 30 min. And then you have the balls to tell me your life was in danger! WTF your life is in danger right now! With me not with him, I can’t wrap my head around what just happen did you think I was not going to say anything that I would let it go when I see his eyes filled with desperation and all he wants is his mommy yes I’m going to intervene and stop it called everyone who you work for! That’s my job as his mother to advocate for his rights and you just violated us! There is no excuse for sending a half ass therapist to my household who is not trained correctly there are so many other things you could have done to prevent him from escalating but you went south and held him down! Yes I feel bad that my son kicked you and your sweating like a pig but he just wanted to get out. I do regret letting it go on for so long… I should of came in earlier but then you try to justify yourself and say my son came after you with what??? Your job as a special needs therapist is to be prepared and not take things personal didn’t they teach you that I would have never let him hurt you! So don’t try to lie in my face and say you felt threatened feel threatened now bc please believe that once I see out in the street you’ll know what a warrior mom is all about!! I can’t believe that your trying to justify what you just did! I don’t understand how people actually do this I start to wonder what about those children who don’t have the words to yell help! I can only imagine what there parents might feel…. Angel was verbal until almost 4 so I consider my self lucky that he’s verbal and able to tell me when someone hurt him. I’m so mad; mad at you,mad at my self , mad at the company, mad at autism I’ve been dealing with his meltdowns for 9 years and I’ve never had to hold him down like that. I’ve had chairs thrown at me , pinched ,punched ,kicked, bitten on and yet have learned other ways to deal with his behavior and you the so called expert hold him down and expect me to be okay with it hell no. And what bothers me the most is that you lied! Telling our SC, angel was going to hit you! Common be a man! And admit you went too far! You could have prevented this! You made a mistake! I don’t feel bad your on probation again! I also don’t think firing you is the right thing what needs to happen is ABA companies need to train their staff better! Sending them to training isn’t enough! Each child is different so they need to be well experienced. Learn how to deal with each individual,learn what’s appropriate. Have options that way you learn to make choices in matter of seconds. so you need to know what your doing to make the best choice.
