[QUOTE="dadside, post: 277588, member: 5707"] Assuming you have a willing (vs. resistant - to spend anything) school district, and it seems you do given the special school, why not just explain your concerns and see what they offer. I don't know what he's getting now that would be "special" in high school. Extra time on tests might be one thing, but does he really need it or is that just an item on a list of possible accommodations. As he gets older and in higher grades, you want him to get by with less and less "special" treatment as he won't get them later in life and he needs to get by then too (not trying to rush things, just to "transition"). Since you and his present school agree on his needs, and I'd expect someone from his current school to be at the meeting (they certainly should be), they ought be able to express things well. Surely this is not the first time they've been through this sort of thing! And, if at the end of the meeting you are still uncertain, you don't have to agree, and you can meet again perhaps after further investigation and thought. [/QUOTE]
