[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655937, member: 1550"] They can't force homeschooling, but I know kids who had some teacher come out to the house two hours a day and THAT was their "education." So you are sort of right here. You simply have to fight hard and get the right people to fight with you. And you can't let the school be in charge of your child. You have to do what it takes to be the one in charge. They are worried about the cost of teaching your child while you are concerned with his very life. The school is not your friend with IEPs a nd services. A free public advocate is available to everyone. Schools don't tell yout his. You ahve to call your state Dept. of Public Education, find out the name and phone number of your advocate, and work with her or him. He has the power. You call the Dept. of Public Ed and ask for the person in charge of Special Needs Chidlren and then ask about the advocate and don't get discouraged if you have to leave a few messages. Keep calling back. Keep after it. Your child's life depends on your willingness to fight for him. He is too little to do it himself. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
