[QUOTE="chococat, post: 271867, member: 7380"] That's a good idea, to send the letter certified so it's all documented. I've been researching the rules and rights for awhile now, but I'm still learning. For example, when her principal kept kicking her off the bus and threatened to suspend her from the bus permanently I told referred her to the Disability act and reminded her that she'd have to make accommodations. i've had to remind her of this 3 times before, and every time she speaks to me about her behavior I make suggestions and ask for a para pro, or if they want her to ride the special needs bus and she never follows through and I don't hear from her again til the next time that [COLOR=black]Marie[/COLOR] gets kicked off the bus and we start the whole process again. Unfortunately I don't have the resources to go to class with her, since I work full time. sometimes I really wish I could be a stay at home mom so I could be there for her all the time. But I'm a nurse and the primary bread winner. Thanks so much for the good advice :) I've added that to me "to do" list. Now I have to figure out where I can find a neuropsychologist. I also forgot to mention (intended to but it slipped my mind after my huge post lol) that my brother was/is basically [COLOR=black]Marie[/COLOR]'s twin, behavior-wise. My dad went to prison when I was 10, bro about 11/12, and my mom was left "in charge" (remember, she's slow and timid). He was very defiant before dad left (dad was physically abusive to him, mentally abusive to us both and sexually abusive to me), but was completely out of control afterwards. He used to hit my mom, did drugs, fought a lot, wouldn't sleep at night, and was difficult to wake for school. Many times I remember my mom dressing him (at the age of 14+) for school and physically dragging him to the car and driving him to school where the pricipal would assist her in getting him to class. He eventually ended up on probation for vandalism and attended a 12 hour m-f day treatment program. Again, he was never diagnosed with anything. I don't think he was ever tested. I'm hoping we can figure out the root of Marie's issues soon, and do the right things to help her. She's a very bright kid with a lot of potential, she'll make a great adult :) Just gotta help her make it to adulthood in one peice lol I'm trying. I got a little massage today and I'm hoping to sneak out with my SO to watch Star Trek while my roomie watches Marie. Thanks for the advice :) I'm hoping tomorrow is relaxing... [/QUOTE]
