My daughter, who is not the reason I am here has an IEP meeting tomorrow. She is 17. When she was 13, she stopped attending her school, too anxious, I took her for an evaluation, and she ended up in day treatment for anxiety, and was never able to attend regular school again, despite attempts.That was where she got her diagnosis of autism.
After her day treatment, and unsuccessfully trying to get her back into her school, her pediatrician recommended online, which of course didn't work. We moved state, chasing my son, and she was put in a very nice public school - a "day school" for kids w similar issues. Her attendance has been very bad; she went today but didn't do any work. She is very smart, but she basically just isn't getting educated.
I dont know what her teacher will propose - she called this meeting due to my daughters poor attendance.
I am just so tired of everything going wrong.
She is on Medicaid. She sees a psychiatrist monthly, and she is on medication. She also seems a therapist every other week - would be more often but he is part time, and the two previous ones were damaging - long story. I don't know what to do if this administration takes away her health care. I also don't know how she gets educated when she is too anxious to attend school, and when she is there, she doesn't do any work. She likes her school, and we both really like her teacher.
I am just sad and discouraged over everything. Every day I wait for a text from her saying she is on the bus. She goes maybe 2x a week. She does nothing.
