My son was recently determined eligible as OHI and ED at school. However the IEP team is quite reluctant to approve any accommodations for his special needs (BP1, ADHD, and Diabetes) I wanted him on homebound to start the year because of his unstable blood sugar. (Very high most of the time from non compliance with insulin regimen, diet, etc)
His endocrinologist said we could work with the school on that but he's very sick a lot of days and if I keep him home they don't like that and if I send him to school I just end up picking him up later in the day. The school is threatening us with truancy charges already 3 weeks into the school year. At the last ARD, I requested an IEE and to my surprise I received a quick reply to give the go ahead to choose a tester and get the testing done. I expected that to be a major skirmish to get that accomplished. I am a little leery of what is going on? I don't mean to sound suspicious although I know I do. Why would they approve expensive testing and not approve accommodations that cost nothing or very little money?
