[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 410606, member: 3493"] You need an IEP for her, you really do. I have IEPs for all of my sons and their issues are not as serious as your daughter's. There is an agency that I think services your county that provides free or low cost advocacy services. I spoke with them while I was fighting the school's position of difficult child belongs in a locked down psycho ward vs. my position of difficult child needs to be in honors classes (I won). You could get an OHI classification to deal with her health issues that make her unable to be in school and deal peripherally with the psychological issues. On another note, it's very offensive that your school keeps calling CPS and has not cooperated in getting homebound services for her. If they are offering catch up services at this point, take them. If the teachers decide that she needs more, they should write that in their reports. When my son was on homebound (PC14, in grade 7) for his broken leg, I had H take him to the library for his sessions. One, and this might be a consideration for you aso, we didn't have to lock the dogs up and two, it got him out of the house for awhile. I would call a few days in advance and reserve a room for the sessions. It worked very well, he was less distracted and it was easier for him to work in a more structured environment. There's also that element of stir crazy from being just at home. In conclusion, the first thing I think you should do is send a letter requesting that she be evaluated for an IEP. She has more needs and issues than when her 504 was entered and she needs more services and protections. 504s are not legally worth the paper they are written on. [/QUOTE]
