[QUOTE="Irene_J, post: 39967, member: 181"] Hi--I'm upset right along with you. If your difficult child loves that school, there is a success right there. It's so hard to get our difficult children to transition or do anything new. Instead of just writing the school board, I would contact the special education department of your state's department of education. I found mine (New Jersey) incredibly helpful. Their agenda was to advance special education, not to cut back. They gave me strategies on how do deal with my particular school board. Go to your state's website and they will have the phone number, if you don't already have it. Let your school know you have contacted the Department of Education, Special Education. I didn't always succeed, but I achieved more victories than losses. Also, if your difficult child sees a therapist, have him/her write a letter about how disruptive this would be to your difficult child's progress. It's amazing to me how many times schools can be obstacles to our children's success. I had an adversarial relationship with my difficult child's CST until they learned I would come to each meeting knowing my rights and the facts (even if the facts were not in my difficult children favor). Finding a comfort level in school is a huge hurdle for some of our difficult children and changing this should not be taken lightly. [/QUOTE]
