[QUOTE="klmno, post: 196091, member: 3699"] It sounds like you might need to consult a Special Education attny. That is what it took for people in difficult child's school to listen. Actually, I had to do it last year and the year before. I hope I don't have to do it again this year. Fortunately, when I've sent certified letters to the dept's Special Education director and "mentioned" in the letter that I have consulted an attny, or just cc the attny and list that at the bottom of the letter, with a copy to the principal, the iep team becomes a lot more agreeable. It is a struggle to keep up with the sd implementing what is in the iep. I have come to respond to statements like "he didn't stay focused in classes the past 2 days and he's talking a lot and won't sit still" with answers like "that means he's hypomanic, discuss strategies with so-and-so at school, or use "safe place" technique as listed in iep- if that doesn't work, we can have another IEP meeting to see what other accomodations might help". So far, that works. I think it's a stretch for them not to want to give you a second set of textbooks to keep at home. [/QUOTE]
