[QUOTE="hoobear, post: 312101"] Hi, I'm sorry Levi had a bad day. My son has had a lot of them so been there done that :raspberry-tounge:. He may just need a 504 plan for accomodations instead of an IEP. You should call the head of special education for your school district and discuss your needs if you feel that the school is not being helpful. As has already been said, even if you do have an IEP, it doesn't necessarily mean that Levi will have to leave his classroom. All it means is that there will be services, accomodations and goals to allow him to be successful. None of the other kids will know. Some children need to leave the classroom during the day for help in math or reading. Levi may need to leave to head-off a meltdown. It's part of managing the illness. When my son was in a regular classroom and needed a break, it was worked out that he could go see the social worker and vent in her office. If she was busy, then he could continue on to the main office for a few minutes of cool down time and then go back to class. Every teacher in that school knew my son (LOL), but his classmates thought he was just running errands. I know it's hard. I have BiPolar (BP) and so does my son. I understand the disease and how difficult it is to watch it in someone you love. I hope tomorrow is a better day for all of you. Keep posting! Holly [/QUOTE]
