[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 600684, member: 1550"] in my opinion he needs to be in special education. A smaller class that can deal with his challenges. You need to have him evaluated outside the school as the school's testing is incomplete and usually not very helpful. Do you have any insurance? Even Medicaid? A university hospital will almost always take Medicaid (I had it) and you get the BEST professionals available. I would ask for a neuropsychologist. Your son is not like other boys his age and should not and can not be treated like just a normal child who is defiant. He needs help, but you don't really know what kind yet because school doesn't really want to spend the $$$ to help our special children. That's w hy to get an impartial evaluation you need to get somebody with no ties to the school. You should not have to homeschool him. You don't have access to the resources the school has. You need to advocate that he gets all the services he needs and the only way to even start is to start using resources outside of the school. The school has proven to be uncooperative, like most of them are. [/QUOTE]
