[QUOTE="buddy, post: 558275, member: 12886"] I totally understand not being able to get it out because of the intense feelings. I'm stuck using a phone so post less but also don't post much about school because I write and it is brought too forward in my brain. It's really hard. Have you requested these IEP meetings in writing? Kids with autism often fall to pieces in emotional /behavioral programs. Kids on the spectrum need methods that are research based and known to support their learning styles. They are not meeting his mandated right for a free and appropriate education. While common practice, it's completely wrong to fit a child into a program....the educational program is to be made to meet his needs. It's like this : 1. Identify strengths and weaknesses 2. Write IEP goals 3. What does he need (accommodations, staff, teaching methods, related services etc.) to accomplish the goals? 4. How do we provide the "least restrictive environment" to meet those needs? 5. If he has behaviors once in the appropriate setting, then do a behavior analysis and develop a positive behavioral plan to address the issues and build appropriate skills. Its not supposed to be well all the kids with behaviors go here. We'll try to work on his goals over there. A free appropriate education is mandated (fape ) and you are saying they are depriving him of that. Big big issue! Anyone can call an iep meeting and the team is required to be there unless you sign them out. But put in writing that you want an IEP meeting (not a team meeting) so.you have documentation if you need to go through due process procedures. I'm just so sad for you. I can relate in many ways. So glad you have an advocate. Hope its a good one! [/QUOTE]
