[QUOTE="slsh, post: 512053, member: 8"] Forgive my forgetfulness - do you have an advocate involved? in my humble opinion, SD is perfectly happy to have him on homebound indefinitely. From their point of view, it's the perfect solution. From yours and Q's point of view - he's being denied FAPE in LRE, he is in an unnecessarily restrictive placement for [B]SD convenience[/B] (in my humble opinion), and I think you are going to need to start getting really assertive so that this doesn't go on for years, a la Shari and her Wee. Especially with- HS years looming - you need to get them to button down his placement and IEP like yesterday. Transition, transition, transition needs to be emphasis - in my humble opinion and with- 20/20 hindsight. Work skills? Life skills? Social skills? What is the plan post HS? Sheltered workshop? Regular type job? And how is he going to get there? I know that seems like I'm kinda jumping over what's been going on the last many months in school with- him, but in my limited experience, when you have a kiddo who is not college material, you are going to have to be *really* proactive and incredibly persistent to ensure that there is a meaningful transition plan. For all intents, he's out of middle school now, due to recent events. Since he's going to have a new placement, I would think it might be best for him if it's a *permanent* placement for the next couple of years, rather than having to disrupt him again come next fall. Does that make sense? Anyway - you and advocate I think are going to have to get real squeaky to get SD off its posterior and arranging for something more appropriate than homebound. Hang in there.
