[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 466163"] Don't let them tell you he CAN'T get an IEP. He would automatically qualify under EBD for his behaviors alone. Most diagnoses will also qualify him. What you need to do [B]immediately [/B]is write letter titled "request for evaluation for special education services". Put in the letter that you are requesting a complete evaluation for special education services including, but not limited to, psychological testing, academic testing, behavioral evaluations/observations, speech-language evaluation and occupational therapy evaluation. Send it to them Registered Mail with Return Receipt Requested. That starts a timeline they legally must follow to complete ALL the assessments and testing you are asking them to do. There is a wonderful website about special education law that has been very helpful to most of us here. It's called Wright's Law. Check it out and become familiar with anything and everything you might need to know. You might also try to find an advocate to help you with all of this. He is entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) under the IDEA law. You're right, you can't fix him. It is their job to educate him in whatever way is necessary.
