[QUOTE="Star*, post: 250878, member: 4964"] Shari - I hope my suggestions are of some help. Seems like you've gotten some great advice already. Regarding a plan for returning difficult child to full days. Do you need the verbage that is used on an IEP or do you need something less structured and loose? Regarding a plan for him being only 1/2 days? My recommendation would be to request a home bound teacher for the 1/2 of the day that he does not do well at. A retired sped. teacher makes a perfect helper at home. Then since he doesn't do well in the afternoons - and they want him to be attending full days and he is not physically able to handle that challenge at this time? I would suggest that he goes to school in the morning - like all the other kids, catches the bus etc. Then the SD would bus him home in the afternoon and he would work with a SD paid teacher in homebound. If the lessons at home with the afternoon teacher become too much this would tell everyone that difficult child is not ready for a full 6/5 hours of school in a typical classroom setting. If the lessons at home with the afternoon teacher were helpful - then you write that you want to continue this scenario with difficult child transitioning into 1 full day of school a week without the aid of the homebound teacher. One day rolls into two and two into three and set a realistic and achievable goal for next year. If it is I can tell you that it worked for Dude. This was my suggestion to the school after they said he could not come back full time. By 10th grade? He was going full days in self-contained class. The days that he couldn't handle a typical classroom setting? He was to report to the guidance counselor after telling his self-contained teacher and he could do this up to 2 times a week. I would have to get him from school. We set realistic rewards if he did stay in school the entire week and even had rewards if he took one day off early. is this an idea that would appeal to what you're trying to accomplish? [/QUOTE]
