[QUOTE="slsh, post: 374309, member: 8"] Shari - in #2, are you agreeing to less than a full day? If so, for how long? Another school year, a quarter, a semester? Just my opinion, I do not think you should agree to anything less than full days. He has already spent over a full school year on a "modified" schedule. There was/is absolutely no medical necessity for it. It was for SD convenience. They couldn't handle him and couldn't be bothered to figure out how to. I just feel so strongly that the elementary experience is so important in that it sets the stage for the rest of his education. He desperately needs to get back into full days ASAP. Absolutely, it is going to take a ton of support - but the SD set this up by not allowing him to be in school and by calling you to get him at the first hint of trouble. They're reaping what they sowed and they absolutely have to undo the damage. It's going to take a heck of a lot more effort *now* on their part than if they had done it the right way in the first place. Too bad, so sad. Not Wee's problem - it's the SD's. I also think you need to be much more specific in terms of what you want for compensatory education, and that also needs to be nonnegotiable. A word of warning - do *not* allow them to tack on compensatory services at the end of his school career. He desperately needs the services *now* - tutor, social skills/social interaction opportunities, definitely the extra Occupational Therapist (OT)/related services. Because they so socially isolated him, I think part of those services should include recreational/extracurricular activities. by the way, you should know that rec. services is a related service. Been a while since I read the regs, but if you don't have them handy I can slog thru and find the reference. Again, Shari - just my opinion. You have been waging this battle for so darn long, and you have so many fires burning with- this SD - it's got to be really hard to prioritize. I have to tell you that I am *extremely* impressed with how you are handling it. Instead of getting worn down and emotionally exhausted, you have only gotten stronger and more focused. You really are doing a fabulous job. [/QUOTE]
