[QUOTE="klmno, post: 316591, member: 3699"] Welcome! You posted on one of my threads and asked what "difficult child" means. It means our "Gift from God", which is how we refer to our child/children who are challenging to raise. There is a list of abbreviations in the FAQ section that is helpful for "newbies". I agree with Busywend as far as your current question. Some schools don't have the best accommodations for emotionally troubled students so I would exhaust efforts to make things work in the mainstream setting first, unless you do believe that this is about to drive her to suicide. There are some great materials that you can use to help "educate" the IEP team on ways they can support her more at school. She should have someone at school available at all times to talk to. They should be taking more steps to minimize teasing and so forth from other kids. I can see wanting to get her out of that environment and I know that there is only so much the personnel can do to curb the typical cruelty from some other kids, but it really irks me that a troubled student can't attend a regular school because he or she was basicly bullied out. If it were me, I'd be breathing down the necks of the IEP team and school personnel. Of course, if she is at the brink of harming herself over this, I would not let her go back in that school.
