[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 405285, member: 2322"] You will need to get her on an IEP. You will need an advocate with you at all meetings and will undoubtedly have to hire a Special Education lawyer. And the mom is probably right, you won't get anywhere until the school is given the chance to show it can't meet her needs. Yes, I know it hasn't, but they will argue she wasn't on an IEP and they have more resources available that you haven't tried yet. And you will have to go through a whole legal battle to prove that they won't work. And that will be difficult if you haven't tried them. Sorry to sound discouraging but it will be a long drawn out battle. If you win and you can get her in somewhere for HS it will be worth it. But you may not win or you may win too late. One thing you could do would be to call up the private schools, talk to them about the types of kids they have, which ones are funded by their districts (maybe even some by yours!) and if they have any advice on how to qualify her. Worth a try. [/QUOTE]
