[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 297043, member: 23"] This is an age-old battle. One of the requirements for a student to be eligible for an IEP is that the problem must adversely impact the school environment (not just grades). Until it does so, an IEP is unlikely to be forthcoming. I hope the psychiatrist can help her with-this. In the meantime, make the school as involved as possible in getting her out of the vehicle. Not to the point of making her esculate, but so that the principal, a teacher, counselor, etc., is observing. Keep a journal of incidents: date,time, trigger, description of behavior. Ask the principal and school counselor for strategies. Do it in writing and keep a copy, or do a follow-up letter if in a face-to-face or telephone conversation. (These may come in handy in proving educational need.) I believe there's a thread on "educational need" in the Sp Ed Archives. It's been a long time since the sd evaluated your daughter. You can parent refer for another evaluation at any time. There are sample letters in the Sp Ed Archives also. My son has a lot of problems. The very worst one to handle is his anxiety related to school. Welcome aboard! [/QUOTE]
