[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 551958"] You have my sympathy. I went through that with our school district until it sent difficult child 1 into such a depression the psychiatrist ordered homebound for the last 5 weeks of school. The staff would NOT accommodate his disabilities despite an IEP meeting a month with an advocate and mediation and threat of a hearing. The manifestation determination meeting determined his behaviors were a symptom of his disabilities but they totally dismissed my requests for accommodations. In the meantime, when THEIR accommodations didn't work, he was sent to the office & then home most every day. If he left his classroom (they would NOT give him permission) when he got stressed (provoked by teachers), they wrote it up as an unexcused absence which after 10 is reported as a truant to law enforcement and CPS. The "feeling" of the IEP meetings was that they just wanted him out. At the final meeting, the principal actually asked me if I'd thought about a couple other specifically named PUBLIC schools. The sad part is, once they decide they want him out, they will stop at nothing to get him out. They had all kinds of excuses as to why "this won't work" and "we don't have staff for that" and even "let's try this and see how it goes". They set him up to fail and all it did was depress my poor 12 year old to the point that he'd lay in his bed in the fetal position or sit on my lap crying. I pulled him out of there (as well as my straight A child) and have never looked back. I was determined to fight for difficult child 1 as long as it took ....... until they about killed him. If that's the case with your difficult child, I would start looking at options now. You really need to be prepared ...... while you're fighting like h*** for what he needs at his current school. Good luck and ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
