One step forward, two steps back. difficult child was suspended for 5 days this afternoon after being "held" in the office for almost 4 hours before they called me. Sigh. They weren't too happy that Dad was already on his way to pick him up so they had to deal with him instead of me. I'm not nearly as...

I'm a little bit giddy right now. We met with a highly recommended psychologist who spent about 7 hours with difficult child testing him for a private IEE - the one I asked for and the school wanted to take us to due process to refuse! So to make a long story short, one of his recommendations is a ONE ON...

Some quick background before I ask my questions... difficult child's IEP that was written (pre-written is probably a better term) this fall was absolutely horrid and the testing they did prior to that was next to useless. I asked for an IEE and the school tried to take us to due process. I withdrew the...

Hi all, My son's IEP is next week and I'd really like to propose they work on his executive functions. I've been hunting like crazy for some sort of formal program I could suggest and all I've found is http://www.braintrain.com and their Captain's Log. While they do have some research...

I got a big surprise in the mail when I got home tonight. I was copied on a letter from a law firm to the state of Michigan dept of ed that the school is denying our request for the IEE at public expense and is filing a due process hearing request!! Their "proposed solution" is that the school...

Yesterday I was furious with school and today I'm almost a little bit happy. The short version: My 10 year old has a BIP that says he cannot play competitive sports at recess. Yesterday they allowed him to play football and after getting called a "ball hog" one too many times, he popped the...

difficult child's BIP was written so that the "school discipline policy" would apply meaning they can still suspend him. I signed it with a note saying I disagreed with that point because I wanted to get the rest of the stuff in place for the start of school. Since then, the psychiatrist that the school...

Four days into the school year and difficult child is suspended for a day and a half for aggression with another child. The BIP was half followed. What has me smokin' mad is that it happened at 9:45 in the morning and they didn't call me until 1:10 in the afternoon. They also quoted difficult child as having said...

Well we finally had our first manifestation determination meeting yesterday. We walked in feeling very prepared and organized and walked out feeling the same way! Because difficult child's active IEP still says S/L impaired and his suspension was for hitting another student, they wouldn't conceed that...

It's was a perfect week last week. Perfect! Every single teacher and administrator told me so. Today...10 minutes until school is out difficult child is reading quietly at his table when a kid who isn't supposed to be cleaning the tables bumps his table hard. difficult child blows up and beats the crap out of him...

<span style='font-family: Arial'>Well I have to vent to someone who understands...so you all are it. For a brief re-cap, my 9 year old ADHD-ODD son has been suspended for 12 days since the beginning of calendar year 2007. Two days for aggression with a student and two 5-day suspensions for...

I really appreciate all the help everyone has offered since my post Saturday. This is an awesome group of people! Now, another question! I had asked school for a complete copy of difficult child's file. One of my main reasons for asking was for the discipline reports - I knew he had been suspended more...

Hi all, I'm new - name is Michelle and my difficult child is 9.5 years old ADHD/ODD. He is just finishing up his 12 day of non consecutive suspension THIS year (as in 2007, not school year). I think we have 5-8 more days if you count the first half of the school year. I've been learning and researching...
