[QUOTE="keista, post: 446717, member: 11965"] Not true. my son and pretty much every other kid in the school with an IEP has that option. Is there such a school 'reasonably' close by that you could transfer him to, and by transfer, I mean via IEP. Distance is usually a big problem, but it might be worth it. We have several charter schools that may be more suitable for my girls both academically and enrichment-wise, but neither they nor I wish to invest the time in travel right now. Sadly, if the IEP is not held up as a legal document, then there is not much you can do - UNLESS you find an attorney willing to fight that battle. [I]Sadly I find such attorneys exist only in alternate universes. When husband had a LEGITIMATE case we could not find an attorney to represent him because it was just too difficult, and yet the fool who spilled coffee in his own lap, had no problem.[/I] What's the point of an IEP that won't be followed and can't be taken to court? Have you read any of the fine print in the supporting paperwork that accompanies an IEP? Here in the US it's about 18 pages of "rights of disabled students" Is there any appeals process for the consequences of behavior? If so, appeal each and every time. ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
