[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 421440, member: 1169"] Fight tooth and nail to keep her on the IEP (yes, the reference to 504 means they are looking to drop her IEP). Can you get a letter from her psychiatrist stating that he current school schedule does not provide enough support and that it is causing significant mental health issues? This is an area that many of us have fought. It is very frustrating because technically the school is coorect, they are only legally responsible for what happens during the school day. My response to them was that if they wouldn't look at the whole child, than I would not be able to use my time at home with my child to support their "time" -- stop doing the homework, let them figure it out, document every episode of school refusal with an e-mail to the teacher and Special Education director Dear Ms. Teacher, difficult child was 45 minutes late to school today (April 18, 2011) due to school refusal. She was very upset and fearful about going to school. I appreciate your assistance in figuring out what is happening at school to cause this. Just send the same note every single morning that she is late due to school refusal. Every Friday or every other add in a sentence "difficult child has missed 532 minutes of school due to school refusal in the last 10 days. Despite her great fear, I manage to get her to school every day because I understand the value of education. Please help me find out why she is so frightened. Just push it back on them, over and over. [/QUOTE]
