[QUOTE="slsh, post: 240945, member: 8"] "She apparently is doing great in resource class, but is only getting by in regular class with the help of an aide who is actually assigned to another child." This is I think the most important piece of information you have. Special Education law states student are entitled to a "free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment". FAPE in LRE. LRE is regular ed classroom. Before discussions begin about changing placement, the SD *should* be looking at what accommodations/related services might be used to help your daughter receive FAPE in LRE. Sounds like a 1:1 aide needs to be tried, *first*, before a change in geography. Absolutely, I would allow a full evaluation. I'd make sure a functional behavioral analysis is also done so that behaviors and triggers can be identified. You are absolutely right - the SD has the obligation to educate your children and sending them home is not education. The SD *also* has that FAPE in LRE obligation. Some fight it mightily. You might also want to post over in the sped 101 forum. Good luck - it sounds like you know what your kids need. by the way - LOL, as a perpetually absentminded parent when it comes to school lunches - you might try to get it written into IEP that if funds run out for lunch, difficult child *will* be fed (I'm horrified they just make the kids do without) and you will be called, just in case the lack of lunch contributed to her rough day. ;) [/QUOTE]
