[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 468466"] Hi, to get things started at school I'd go talk to the principal of the local public school. Take a behavior log of your daughters behaviors. Tell him/her you need to registrar her for school. Say you would like to make sure your daughter gets into the appropriate placement because you don't want her "disrupting the other kids learning." Those are key words. She would qualify for an IEP if her behavior would disrupt her or others kids learning. Say you would be willing to sign any forms they require for sp ed testing and would be willing to bring her in for the testing. They might want to put her in a gen ed class first while they do this testing. Point out that would be very bad for them, the other kids, and difficult child. I just yesterday enrolled difficult child 2 and difficult child 3 into school from homeschooling. Now I have 3 kids in 3 different schools. It is taking them a few days to get everything set up in the other class rooms and transportation set up. I expect them to be in school by Monday of next week. With your daughter not having an IEP already it might take them longer. And they might need to have the school district help them know what to do. This isn't a situation most principal's encounter every day. You don't have to wait until they have the room or resources. If they don't know about your daughter they won't ever have the room or resources. If talking to the principal doesn't work go talk to the sp ed director of the school district. If that doesn't work mail a certified letter to the sp ed director. I second the idea for an evaluation. [/QUOTE]
