[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 106586"] Before you say no to going to due process, I would observe him in class. Or, if you think he will act differently with you there (as I know mine would) arrange for a trusted friend or professional to observe. I would just want to make sure that I'm getting correct information on how he participates in class. As far as the speech and language, we used that it keeps difficult child from participating in class - which is educational impact - to get it into the IEP. It did keep her from participating in class to the point that 3 of her 4 5th grade teachers didn't realize that she had any speech problems. And I'm telling you, you [b]cannot[/b] miss it. As far as how you are being treated by the school staff, I would see what the superintendent does and then go from there. You have a right AND a responsibility to be actively involved in your child's education. They cannot deny you that. As far as difficult child's incident, she was in the 3rd grade and we had a lot of problems with the school that year. They offered a before school gym class for 3rd and 4th graders and I signed up difficult child to get her more involved socially. Apparently, she and another kid collided - hard - smacked heads and then difficult child hit the floor. The other kid was crying, but difficult child said she was ok and blended into the background. She will do almost anything to not be noticed which is why behavior issues at school have never been an issue. When the school finally called me at 1:00, the witch (and I'm being so nice here....everyone in this SD knows this woman and all refer to her in the same way) she [i]complained[/i] that difficult child had been in the office 5 times that day complaining of her ears hurting. So, I called the doctor then left work to get difficult child and took difficult child straight to the doctor. <u>Noone</u> told me about the incident earlier that morning. When difficult child got in the car, she told me about it and said she had been seeing double and her ears were ringing and hurting. Turns out she had a concussion. We got back to the school right as it let out and I marched straight back to the classroom where her teachers (plural, she had 2 teachers all day and a class of 22 students) [i]complained[/i] that she hadn't completed any of her classwork. I tell you what, everyone in that school knew my name that day. I felt bad for the gym teacher because she didn't know of difficult child's issues and really thought when difficult child said she was ok that she was. She called me at home that night and was in tears. However, difficult child's regular teachers and the office staff should have known better. But then, this was the year I was told by the guidance counselor that I was the one with the problem, not difficult child. Then there was the time when for some reason they decided that difficult child rode a bus and were forcing her to get on a bus. difficult child NEVER rode the bus; she was a walker, always had been a walker, and I took her to school and picked her up (at 13 she still can't find her way to the school by herself).
