[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 370876, member: 1233"] Has she ever been evaluated for Prader Willi? It is a disorder where hunger is never satiated. Chances are it would have been diagnosis'd by now but it would be worth asking her doctors about it. I would NOT NOT NOT recommend homeschooling her. She will likely not be cooperative (to put it very mildly) and it will likwly encourage her to run away more often and for longer times. No teacher or parent knows how to handle a student like this. If she continues to have problems at school maybe she should have a full time aid. You will likely have to push to get one, but it may be what she needs. There are other accommodations that she can have at school to help her learn. Homeschooling her is going to put a huge burden on your shoulders and you will have precious few resources and sources of help outside your home unless you can afford to pay expensive fees for tutors, etc... The school MUST provide accommodations if her actions are a result of her disability. The Sp Ed forum on this site can help you with this. I am NOT anti-homeschooling or anti regular schooling. My older two have each been in regular classes some years and have been homeschooled some years. So far my youngest has not had a need to be homeschooled and loves school but if it changes we will work with it. I just think your daughter is not a good candidate for homeschooling. She also may need the structure that school provides and that it is very hard to provide while homeschooling. Given the financial times it may be quite unwise for you to quit your job and that is something that you need to consider also. Has she been evaluated recently? There may be learning disabilities, etc... that you don't know about if she has not had a complete evaluation in the last 3-4 years. As our kids grow new and different symptoms can emerge which can indicate new problems and new ways to help. She may need to attend an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) to help with the problems. I don't know enough to say if it is needed, but many difficult children are helped with rtcs or even emotional growth boarding schools (egbs). [/QUOTE]
