[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 112950, member: 4362"] It is also my understanding that even though your child is in a private school, you can get testing and services through your public school district. However, as Martie said, private schools do not have to provide services or give you any leeway because of your difficult child's behavior/ emotional problems. My difficult child was in a Christian private school in 1st and 2nd grade. A week before he was to start 3rd grade (and after the local school district had already been in session for a month), they told me that his application to attend 3rd grade had been denied. This after they had my deposit and first months tuition for six months. Their behavior was less than Christ-like, to be certain, but it also made my son feel unwanted. I didn't even have adequate time to transition him because of the school's disregard. in my opinion, your child would be better off in a public school. There are more services and more options available to him. As far as suspension, if he was in a public school with an IEP, and it was determined that his behavior is a result of his disability, then the school would NOT be able to suspend him. Good luck with the school. I would encourage you to start investigating the programs available within the local public school district, and pursue getting the testing done ASAP (the school district has to reply within 30 working days). My son is now in a special day class for children with DSM-IV diagnosis, and has an on-site psychologist who does both group and individual counseling. It's a great program, and there is no way I could afford this if it were in a private setting. It's a much better environment for him, and they are helping him with his social and behavioral issues.
