[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 405279, member: 3493"] I think that at this point you should be pushing for an IEP and getting her more protection than a 504 can offer. I would ask for an FBA to give the school some ideas as to how to handle her. It does not sound like she is ready for school yet. With an IEP, you can look at programs like the Alternative Learning Centers at Western Suffolk BOCES or the Eagle Avenue School in Nassau BOCES (not sure where you live, just on LI). I looked at Eagle Avenue for difficult child, it was not for him but I know many kids (including dyslexic PC14's best friend) who have gone there with many different issues, from bipolar to adoption issues, schizophrenia and have done fairly well. It runs from grades 6 through 9. BOCES programs are cheaper than private schools so there may be less of a fight over funding. I would start now because Cuomo's new budget is going to wreak havoc on NYS (not that we don't need some controls, I just wish it wasn't schools getting the hit). This way, she could learn in a small and safe environment and you can set a goal of sending her back to public school for HS or not. Mods - sorry, I know we're not supposed to use real names, but I don't have PM enabled. [/QUOTE]
