[QUOTE="slsh, post: 400796, member: 8"] While 12 is still young, and I would certainly expect to see some big changes between now and when he hits 18, I think it's reasonable to at least start thinking about this kind of stuff. You will not believe how fast the high school years fly by. You don't have to commit to anything, but having thought out as many options as possible is really a very good idea. By the time your difficult child hits 17, if he still has an IEP, the district is required to send you a letter notifying you of the impending "transfer of rights" when your child hits 18, meaning he will become the responsible adult in terms of IEP stuff. He can sign a delegation of rights re: educational decisions, allowing you to continue to be informed and involved in the IEP process, but he also has the right to revoke that at any time. At that point, you really are going to have to start weighing your options re: guardianship. [/QUOTE]
