difficult child recently had psychiatric hospital., has refused to attend school all but one day this school year. They disenrolled him from the Special Education non public school. Mental health assess done, I will ask what recs are on mon. IEP on wed. husband and I feel residential is necessary. Hope school agrees. If residential is not the rec, I'll bring an advocate to mtg. What do you all think? He is 17, 18 in may 2013. I think the fact that police had to put him on 72 hr hold, and photos I sent her of punched holes in doors may help our case
