[QUOTE="marianna37, post: 196087, member: 5347"] I actually have provided a letter to the school from each doctor documenting his condition and how that affects his ability to attend school and be in the classroom environment. The homebound was denied because the endocrinologist didn't want to place him on it. So I'm being forced to decide almost daily whether he should go or not. I send him knowing he'll end up coming home, a lot. I provide documentation from the Texas Children's that I've called the Dr. when he comes home from school. With a diabetic child you can't run to the hospital every time their blood sugar is high. The school doesn't seem to understand that I'm not going to have a doctor's note from an appointment. I also document myself when he misses with his blood sugar level, ketone amount, symptoms, etc. And I email the attendance office and print each one so that I have that record too. I know that homebound is expensive to the school, but that's already not an option. I'm just asking for some really simple things like a set of textbooks for home. ("Oh, No! State law only allows us to issue one set per child.") Even the few things they did accommodate for are not being done. (Like something as simple as preferential seating). I will just go back in there next time and explain again the rationale behind my requests. The doctors and I have done what we can to thoroughly document the situation. So, we'll see... [/QUOTE]
