[QUOTE="klmno, post: 117869, member: 3699"] The only thing I can add to the good suggestions above is that sometimes the parent isn't aware of the specifics going on in school as much as the people in school think. Some or all of this might have been done already, but 1) notifying parents of specific things that concern you (I had several calls telling me my difficult child was disruptive in class and being punished for it- no one told me that he was staring off into space consistently, picking at sores until they bled, and other things that indicated he had "shut down" and was probaly depressed) until months later when I pressed them to know specifically what he was doing- if I had known these things earlier, I would have taken more action earlier; If you are seeing a side of this child that others in the sschool have not informed the parents about, that could be (not neccessarily IS) but could be the glitch 2) suggesting testing, as others have said, 3) suggesting the IEP evaluation (I can't remember the correct term for this), 4) notifying someone else in or out of the school that intervention is called for if the parents aren't responsive in some way. I don't mean CPS, but maybe a Special Education director or someone who might be able to meet with the parent(s) and hear their side of things and help them understand more about what they might be able to do. The child and the school and the parents of the students are very lucky to have someone like you there. You might be the only person this child feels safe going to right now as it sounds like she's not getting the supports she needs to feel understood and function appropriately. [/QUOTE]
