[QUOTE="buddy, post: 466468, member: 12886"] OH yes, been there done that. I have NEVER been able to have daycare and indeed have had to stop working. I am single so you can imagine, it is not easy. If...and I suspect WHEN your son has an IEP an accomodation that is very very common is transportation. My son can ride any bus physically, but his behavior would get him suspended. When bussing is through the IEP they have to have whatever accomodations are needed to allow him to access school. You will find it a benefit because there is usually an aide on the bus, they are supposed to be trained on what to do to help positively reinforce your son for good behaviors etc. Even Special Education bussing can be a nightmare for behavior kids because, face it, these folks are not professionals in special education or child development (usually). Our school admin has meetings with the bus people for my son....the directors of transportation, aides, and drivers all come. Basically the message is here is what we can do to help, but it is just a ride to and from school so dont get too wigged out! If he says inappropriate things just get the kid to and from school and dont take it personally. He does this because of his disability! So he doesn't get kicked off the bus now. (If he ever actually hurt anyone I personally would take him off even if they were being nice.) So, hopefully after the 30 days for the evaluation, you should have the results meeting and if he qualifies then you should begin to write the IEP. Some districts do it all in one meeting, some have separate meetings. You are NOT alone. This is a very hard process sometimes, especially when things are so up in the air. It is scary sometimes too. I have found the folks here to be the most respite from my spinning brain that I have had in a long long time. [/QUOTE]
