[QUOTE="Shari, post: 344939, member: 1848"] I appreciate that, Confuzzled. I need to think these things thru like that. My priority Monday is to keep him off homebound, unless homebound is for a very short, very specified time for them to implement another plan. I realize that's a minimal "win" at best. Priority number 2 is get them to see this isn't working and why, and get something drastically more in place. Wee has, I think, SIX IEP goals. SIX. And they are vague and probably not attainable (85 sight words from a list of 100, and he [I]might[/I]be able to read 20 at this point???). He should have 600, and they need to be specific. What are they going to do to TEACH him those words....not just that he will. I've gone thru the 21 page Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) report and the 14 page Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) report (the results of which I should share sometime - its rather amazing) and highlighted all the recommendations they've made -- not one of which has been implemented at school. EVERY AREA of the adaptive behavior evaluation was significant, yet there are no accommomdations in there as to how they're goiing to adapt the mainstream room to deal with them. Stuff like that, stuff that I didn't know before, and am learning. I'm working on listing out specifically where they've dropped the ball with the IEP/BIP, and I plan to stand up and say hey, you've had a year, you've either half-donkeyed anything I've told you to do, or haven't done it at all...now let's get something that will work. If they won't bring in an behavioral consultant (ps - [B][I]I[/I][/B] brought in a behavior consultant last year, and both he and the dev pediatrician told them "I don't care if he sits in the corner and you feed him jelly beans - the first thing you have to do is keep him in the building".), a trained para (I'm not even sure his aids now are truly paras), offer to pay for Lindamood Bell instruction, offer a small group setting or outside placement - if they don't offer SOMETHING substantially more than we've got [I]right now[/I], I will write Sharon's letter and copy it to DESE. And the advocate agreed, so we'll see. They can contract out to another district. The district with the EIP does not have any services beyond the EIP that offers any more than what Wee has here. At least that I am aware, and teh EIP director has been helping look in their area (they are south of me). The district with the alternative school is north. I know our district sends kids there for other reasons, so I am making the assumption they could place Wee there, too. And I still hope they will. FWIW, Wee's morning was AWESOME until recess. And mornings are his hardest time (for obvious reasons)...we haven't had a good morning following a full day in over a month.... I take the success where I can find it. What very limited time he's been on the Intuniv, thus far, has been good.
