[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 261498, member: 7170"] Wow Shari it sounds like they are playing the same games with you that our district has tried with me in the past. I hate when they do the "attend one hour a day" or "4 hours a day" crud (as far as I'm concerned school is my district funded respite) or how they will keep a kid at home twiddling their thumbs for 6 weeks while they arrange alternative placements. About the only thing I would have done different is when principal said "perhaps he doesn't need to come back" I would have jumped on that opportunity to ask school to pay for day treatment program - but not knowing what DT schools are available in your area it might not be the best placement. I think even though the extra hour doesn't have measurable goals being an elective type class won't matter if he can handle that extra hour without blowouts they can still increase time from there. Angel currently is transitioning from a daytreatment school and she does most of day at DT then goes at 1:00 over to home school for rest of day. In a couple weeks if does well home school time will be increased to include another hour and we keep going baby steps adding more time at home school until transition is complete. Your difficult child is so lucky to have a caring mom who is willing to deal with the school on their behalf, so many parents will just let the school write what they want into that IEP and go along with it. Good job mom! [/QUOTE]
