[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 133035, member: 4424"] I can't believe how well the meeting went! Everyone seemed to really care about what was best for him and was really into thinking of things that could help him. They added the bipolar to the IEP right there. They felt their tests from earlier in the year was enough info. They came into the meeting feeling that his behavior was a manifestation of his disability, I didn't even have to try and convince them. They're going to come up with a rough draft of a behavior plan for me to approve. They'll focus on trying to get him to become more self aware of his moods and needs. They're going to try to get him to joint the anger management support group that they have at school. They're even going to try to find a kid that he knows / likes from the group to invite him so he may be more likely to go. Next year he's going to be put in a PSD resource class instead of CSR, a regular resource class. This is like a study hall period for him but it gives him credit and a teacher is there to help keep him on track, organize, etc. The PSD class will be a little smaller, there is a social worker attached to it, and it's for kids with some sorts of emotional issues. You can take your regular classes through PSD, but he doesn't need that. It was a shockingly positive meeting. We're going to talk about scheduling his classes for next year in a way that has the hardest ones when he's at his best, etc. He's been having trouble with his English teacher. Apparently so has his spec. ed teacher. So, the director of Special Education, his resource teacher, the English teacher, and my difficult child are all going to meet to see if they can figure out a way for him to be successful in there. The asst. principal, whom I had thought might be out to get him, suggested that the meeting could count for the one detention that he still owes her. That way he'll go. So, I'm crossing my fingers and feeling just a little bit of hope. It feels good. Between the meeting and my incredible weekend away, I'm feeling better than I have in a very LONG time. [/QUOTE]
