[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 444175, member: 7916"] As soon as the school reopens in August, send a certified letter asking for an evaluation to determine eligibility for an IEP. The school district has 60 days from receiving your letter to complete the evaluation. You need to get this request in before there is a problem and (hopefully) to get him qualified for an IEP as soon as possible. Also, call the school office the day it reopens to request a meeting with the teacher BEFORE classes start. She needs to know that your son has special needs that you are still trying to define and that you are requesting an evaluation by the school district. That *should* give you some breathing room when it comes to how she deals with difficult behaviors. And, don't let anyone tell you that he can't get sp ed services because he is too smart. He doesn't have to do poorly academically to get help at school. I, too, live in CA and the state budget is hurting all of our kids. Sp ed took a big hit in our district and class sizes are going up for everyone. I understand your concerns about class size and the lack of aides. It is appalling. [/QUOTE]
