[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 231139, member: 6118"] I can't believe that elem schools would change classrooms for a Special Education child. My difficult child has been "confined" to one room since pre school (until this year in 6th grade, but it's only 2 rooms this year) And as to WHY they would suddenly start this in the middle of the school year is beyond me. #1 [URL="http://www.wrightslaw.com"]www.wrightslaw.com[/URL] has fantastic resources #2 I paid big bucks for an advocate and he's worth every penny!! It's great when they know the district and the sp ed people cuz then he knows how they work. He got them to agree to send my difficult child to a neuropsychologist for a full evaluation.... #3 threaten with- having legal counsel at the meeting - SDs HATE lawyers. [I]sometime[/I]s just the threat of one can work wonders. If you have to follow thru, I've found they do free "consults" on the phone. You just have to be sure the lawyer specializes in Special Education. - which can be a little difficult to find. #4 get the therapists, pediatrician, and any other professionals have their diagnosis's and recommendations in writing as to the best environment for him. (if they haven't already) Then there's a paper trail to follow if there's any trouble later. #5 if you haven't already, ask in writing for the school to provide an evaluation and observe his behavior and acedemics during the day with all the classroom shuffling. They have 10 days to either comply or give reasons why they don't think it's appropriate. [/QUOTE]
