[QUOTE="Kez508, post: 426172, member: 11727"] Thank you all for your excellent input! So, to clarify.. she has an official diagnosis of Aspergers since age 5, along with Mood Disorder not otherwise specified (she had one of her meltdowns in front of the Psychologist/specialist that diagnosis'd her). She has had sensory integration issues since she was born, and we have come a long way..we have had Speech and Occupational Therapist (OT), but now the school wants to take it all away! They say she is a "model" student in the speech/social group and responds appropriately and "Skips" in the hallways.. I dont think she CAN even "skip" due to the coordination it takes. Currently noise (during lunch, hallway, indoor recess "unstructured time") bothers her. Like I said, she went to the school nurse (documented) atleast 20 times this past quarter. I thought that would be enough written proof to state my case.. Apparently not, since she is not causing a problem in the class. She is socially ok. She does have atleast 2 or 3 friends at school, but I do worry about bullies that she may not even be aware of. I do worry about what will happen as they get older and social interactions get taken up a notch. They gave her all B's on her report card, which I think was a setup to get her off the IEP.
