[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 668458, member: 18958"] Hi It seems to me that their argument about convenience to the teachers could be illegal. I would never, ever consent to that. Your son needs to be accommodated in his current situation. Period. If you are located near a big City there will also be disability rights organizations that will help you. Free. They can send an attorney with you to the IEPS. We did that and got non-public school, in another County with a free taxi ride to and from. For 2 years. That said, stay strong. The name of their game is intimidation. They gang up and try to overpower and humiliate parents. I was on IEP teams as a professional member. I know how they do it. Don't let them. Your son needs to stay in his gifted program. They placed him there. Do not let them take him out. That is stigmatizing. It is denying him has rights which are Federally mandated. I would never ever consent. I hope you do not. Remember. They act like bullies. That is their MO. Do not let them bully you. Stay strong. If you are far away from a big city you can call a disability rights organization for disabled children in a place like Los Angeles, or Chicago, or San Francisco or New York or Boston. They will give you referrals. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
