[QUOTE="oceans, post: 39500, member: 2687"] You should put this on the educational board and there will be people along with more school experience. I do not think what they did was correct because they had determined the behavior was due to his disorder at the first manifestation meeting then they changed his placement. My son did homebound for part of a school year and in his case it worked well because he was missing too much school anyway, and was extremely depressed. It does not sound like he was on the Lithium long enough for it to reach therapeutic levels, so you don't know if it would have worked. My son was on Lithium a short while as well, but we needed to remove it because of an increased TSH. Lamictal has done wonders for my son. Yours must not be at therapeutic levels yet if he just started it. That will take time. What the school should have done is to do a Functional behavioral assessment and put a behavior plan into effect. It does not sound like they are in compliance with the law, but others will know better. Is there a University with a Law school near where you live? Where I live there are people who can help in these situations at the law school. There is also someone in juvenile justice who works to help these kids. Ask around and see what services are in your area. You can also google NAMI in your state and find what supports they offer in your area. They have lots of information and support that could help you find resources. You are going through a lot!!! Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
