[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 33498, member: 23"] If you do much reading in this forum it won't take you long to pick up that not all school districts approach problems in a reasonable manner. Too often, inappropriate behaviors exhibited by the child are met with inappropriate reactions by the school district which, in turn, triggers escalation of the child. So, I find it refreshing that the sd is perhaps taking a proactive approach. I'd go to the meeting with an open mind. It could be that they want to explore moving difficult child to more typical structured classroom environment. It could be just a brainstorming sessions. It could be they want to recommend RTI. [url="http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cdynamic%2CQaCorner%2C8%2C"]http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cdynamic%2CQaCorner%2C8%2C[/url] It's the norm rather than the exception for a child with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) to have co-existing conditions -- perhaps they are seeing something there. Lots of possibilities. One thing I'd be surprise at is if they would request permission to to do a full evaluation under IDEA to determine IEP eligibility because most sds prefer to try RTI measures first (even when it's clear the student needs more than RTI.) With that said, if permission is requested I would strongly, strongly urge you to accept. Parents do not have to accept offers of evaluation or IEPs. However, in instances where FAPE is offered but declined, the parent leaves the sd with no choice but to hold the student to the same Student Code of Conduct other students must adhere to. A parent with a child with behavior problems can expect repeated punitive punishments, in-school suspensions, out-of-school suspensions, and lots of telephone calls to "come pick up your child," etc., even when they know the behavior is because they "can't" rather than "won't." Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
