[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 71703, member: 3493"] Sheila - Thank you so much. Can you guide towards where in the regs it says that placement decisions are controlled by the CSE? I have always been told that the CSE controls the TYPE of placement (e.g, mainstream with aide, self-contained, residential, etc) and that the school makes the decision as to what classes within those parameters. I think that is why his prior IEP was written so vaguely, because it is believed that the CSE placement means only the type of class not the nature of the content. ALTHOUGH, I know that the school does modify curriculum for kids who learn more slowly, I have never heard of it being done for kids who learn more quickly, like mine. As for the SD lawyer being present, both WH and I are attorneys, although neither of us specializes in Special Education issues (it is my dream to do that when I retire and don't have multiple kids to support anymore, though!). Neither H nor I was insulted at that. H handled a suspension hearing with this attorney and says he is a zealous advocate, but a pragmatist. In the other case, they were able to work out a deal where a child who sold drugs at school was FINALLY (in grade 11) evaluated and then was sent to an alternative school. The SD did not have to do that, he had never been considered at risk. The mom was illegal and had never sought services. Anyway, the district could have had him arrested and sent to jail, but they paid for his rehab and now he's coming back for his senior year. I just hope they can do as solid for my guy. Thanks again and I eagerly await Martie's answer. [/QUOTE]
