[QUOTE="slsh, post: 446711, member: 8"] ICD- I think in some cases that is exactly the SD's intent. Shari and her kiddo are a perfect example, in my humble opinion. I think to have a chance at changing stuff, it takes persistence and documentation and persistence and the willingness to take your concerns to the next level and more persistence and documentation. It's incredibly difficult. My SD failed to provide a 1:1 nurse for Boo for over a quarter of the school year during my fight for LRE. Nurse was in IEP. No nurse? No school. Kept getting calls from truant officer, asking me if I knew where my son was, and was he planning on dropping out. Yes, I knew exactly where my quadriplegic visually impaired son was, and he'd *love* to come to school, but unfortunately sped dir from Hades felt that following IEP was optional when parents were pushing for compliance with IDEA. Not surprisingly, when I caved into their demands for placement in a totally segregated facility, we never had a nursing issue again. Again, I think you have to weigh the safety of kid, emotional/physical toll of fighting the battle thru to the end, versus your chance of actually getting appropriate services. If you're in the fight to the end, there has to be someone who has accountability (either in district or further up the food chain in dept of education for province and/or country) for ensuring that appropriate services are provided.
