[QUOTE="Martie, post: 92642, member: 284"] Because you do not have a signature or an address, I do not know where you are, but where ever, your SD is in violation of most of the major provisions of IDEA (the Federal Special Education Law.) To put a fine point on your question, yes services can some and go as needed, and Special Education is not a "place." My ex-difficult child had an IEP in public school for three years and never attended a special class. However, he received a lot of services and accommodations. He did not attend public high school...long story...so he had no IEP but if he had been in public high school, he would have had an IEP to protect him legally from expulsion. He still would not have had any "Special Education" classes, but would have had services. Under the current Federal law, you can withdraw your consent for Special Education placement and that will put your difficult child in all regular classes. HOWEVER, if you do this, he will be subject to normal discipline, including expulsion, so I personally would not do that if I were in your situation. On the other hand, I would not have my child in a situation that violates FAPE and LRE, either. If you do not advocate for your child, no one will. I believe you need to find out what your rights are and what your son's rights are and start defending them. Unhappy freshman have a very high drop out rate....I would try to get a handle on this problem ASAP Welcome to our world--where we deal with schools as they are, not as they should be.
