[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 251398, member: 1991"] With time as a factor, I'd be opening the letter with a request/demand for a meeting ASAP. You could include that the top item on the agenda needs to be the imposition of half-days coupled with the lack of IEP, and again include the reminder that they are rubnning out of time and cannot use this as an excuse because you will make difficult child availabel to them at any time. The aim of all this is to give difficult child the learning experience he is entityled to as a human right, and to do it in a way that works best for all concerned. You could also mention that things did seem to be working and progress was being made, before someone who may not have been fully aware how things were going, moved the goalposts. Shari, I get the vibe from you that you feel a bit overwhelmed by the qualifications/professional status of the SD staff who made the decision, as if you as a'mere parent' don't have the right to have equal force to what you say onbehalf of your child - I hope I'm wrong, but if there is any doubt in you, please toss it away. You are an expert on your child, you know what has been working and you need to be in the driving seat here, not pushed to one side and disregarded by professionals who treat you like an idiot. Again - that's why you need to ask for a meeting as a matter of urgency, because someone in this mess has made some decisions that need to be explained/justified, especially given the current circumstances. You have a right to do this. You are a vital part of your son's Learning Team. Some decisions should not have been made so arbitrarily. Or if the SD staff feel justified in making these decision,s they should have been interim until a meeting could be called with you and others concerned, to explain it and put in some spadework on what to do now. I agree with your private assessment also - it sounds to me like they were just looking for an excuse to get him out of their hair for a while. Nothing appropriate has been put in place, and he is being denied access to education. Marg [/QUOTE]
