[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 341574, member: 8831"] i thought about you all night, and i wanted to come back to this thread.... my posts make it sound like i'm an advocate for [I]restrictive[/I] placements--and i most certainly am not. i'm actually quite the opposite...i believe in the value of LRE, i think kids should go to their neighborhood schools and be mainstreamed to the fullest extent possible. my actual position on education is that there needs to be [I]options. [/I]there are times that needs just cannot be met in a public school and a private setting IS the LRE. after following your threads, i [B]assumed [/B]a lot of things, maybe rightly, or more likely wrongly. i [B]assumed[/B] there is no real resolution with your local district. i [B]assumed[/B] it was impossible to get wee's needs met in the local school, for whatever reason. and i also [B]assumed [/B]that what you both are experiencing cannot.go.on, not for a second more. perhaps it is just that your district is uneducated in how to deal with a situation like wee's, and would be more than happy to "fix" it if they knew how. maybe they really have done all that is reasonable to do. or maybe not. you seem like a highly motivated mom, and i get the impression you've done every single thing you could possibly do, and then some, and there is no room left to collaborate with your district. but its wee that suffers while everyone continues to figure it out. its not fair to him to not find some modicum of success on a constant basis while the grown-ups try to throw various solutions at the issue.... it just seems to [I]me[/I] that its time to think outside the box.
