[QUOTE="Lyn8404, post: 487231, member: 13351"] My son has been having several issues since the beginning of the school year, and I have been talking with them from day one that my son needed an IEP. Instead of this being implemented, the principle told me that there were other avenues that we needed to proceed down before that could happen. Being that I don't know much about the school system, I took her words at face value. Unfortunately, the only avenue that we've crossed is either suspending my son from school, or allowing him a "safe place" to go when he gets upset. I forgot to mention that my son is ADHD and ODD. These have not worked. I finally talked to the school board and they told me all I had to do to get an IEP was to write a letter to the school stating that I wanted my son evaluated for exceptional education services under other health impaired needs. When I talked to the principle today to write this letter, she flat out refused me. She told me that I should come in at a time she allots for me, and we could discuss it then. I told her no, that I wanted to have this letter written today and on the books and she basically told me that just because I wanted it, didn't mean that I was going to get it. I feel as if she treated me like I was one of her students who should bend to her will. I need advice on how to proceed from here. I have left a message with the school board representative that I spoke with previously, but I won't hear back from her until after the weekend. To say that I am at my wits end, would be an understatement. I need help figuring out how to handle this. Sincerely - Lyn [/QUOTE]
