[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647611, member: 1550"] You won't get them to take special classes for your son's benefit. What you need is to go back for another IEP WITH A FREE SCHOOL ADVOCATE and a plan. If the school personnel don't like you, and they didn't like me either, you are just going to be ignored or feel picked on and maybe you ARE being picked on. You can not fight this battle without outside side and I used an advocate. We met, had goals set, and the school district top to bottom treated us very well in our next IEP meeting with the Advocate beside us. First of all, an Advocate knows the players, knows all the state laws, and can take the district to court. Ours had won a few cases in court and nobody wanted to mess with her so we basically got what we wanted for our kids, nobody dared get picked on, and my two children were treated like royalty. A parent can not make a school district's people do anything. They need the motivation of the Dept. of Public Education knowing that they are dropping the ball. I have no idea why, but some parents think going to the Superintendant of the school district helps. It' doesn't. These are all people holding hands, on the same page. They are right. You are just a nutty parent, making excuses for a bad kid. The Dept. of Public Education is over all the school districts in your state and can hold investigations and withhold state money based on whether or not they like what they see. When the Dept. of Public Education and it's advocates tell the districts to jump, they ask, "How high?" Call your Dept. of Public Education and ask for the Special Needs Director or whoever is in charge of special needs children in the state. Then ask for the advocate in your area and get to know that person well. Maybe the Dept. Head of Slpecial Needs has additional leverage and/or suggestions. We got LOTS of help and it really lit a fire under the school districts backside. I think I've mentioned this before to you, but maybe not. If you do it yourself, nothing will change. You have got to involve other people who have power over the school district. You don't. Call the Dept. of Public Education in your state first thing tomorrow morning and get the ball rolling and meet your advocate. Doing the same thing over and over again, gets ya the same results. Try this. It's very effective. It is the only way to stop the bleeding. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
