[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 295394, member: 805"] Adding my two cents here - I totally agree that FAPE is the word here. That is your son's entitlement under the law as well as LRE (least restrictive enviornment). Being in the classroom, with his peers, attending school all day, like his peers, is the least restrictive enviornment for your son period, exclamation point! The school must provide any supports needed to accomplish that goal - a 1:1 perm placement is best. I would first, due to time constraints, call the school and speak to the leader of difficult child's IEP team. Let him/her know you want to set up a meeting to discuss this coming school year ASAP. Follow up with a certified letter. The problem with just the letter is that you are talking about a week to ten days total turn around time. You want this meeting soon so that, if they baulk with your request, you've got some lead time to bring in difficult child's therapist or psychiatrist or whatever you may need to do (have the school system behavorist attend the meeting, the folks responsible for funding decisions, etc.) before school starts. I have always thought it best to get the IEP in line before school ends one year for the following year. Summer is often a tough time to gather all the "powers who think they be"! (having said that, I am in the same boat with an Aug IEP writing for the first time since difficult child has had one!) Good luck, Sharon [/QUOTE]
