[QUOTE="Shari, post: 374322, member: 1848"] Great points, folks. That's why I love you all! JJJ, you remind me of a situation that happened in the early intervention school's summer program this year....they had SpEd College students come in to mentor and help out for a day, and they rotated thosee kids around every half hour to 45 minutes, and even in a non-stressful setting, Wee had a huge problem with transitioning. The EIS director said it was just too hard for him to make those switches that often andd they ended up pulling him frfom the regular room so the colege kids could go ahead and get their experiences. Wee helped out in the admin office for a couple hours and thought he was king of the world. Even then, they didn't send him home. That's exactly the scenario I need to hand the school to say why the parade of paras won't work. Marg, I don't intend to let them know how many I'll settle for. I just need to know in my own mind, because I know when I get in that room, my emotions will be high. I just need to have that worked out in my mind going in. Sue & Confuzzled, good point. I want full days. He needs full days, and the request needs to state that. "homebound services" will be a backup demand. If they absolutely won't keep him all day, then they need to send him somewhere besides home, or they need to send a teacher home with him to educate him. I will not take less than a full day in some form or fashion...if they don't want him [I]there [/I]all day, fine; but they WILL educate him [I]somewhere. [/I]Compensatory services will also depend on what the school will give him for the regular day. There is a limit to how much anyone can take, and I can't expect Wee to take10 or 11 hours of education a day. But rec opportunities is a GREAT idea, and perrfectly fitting as he struggles to parrticipate in regular extra curricular because of the general use of large group instruction... And just for the record, I AM exhausted. I've been prepping for this battle all summer, and I really miss my "summer off"... I gave one he!! of a speech to them in my dreams last night. I'm going to write down a few key points of that, too. I don't think it would hurt the whole team to hear some of that if it comes to that. I've already laughed at the principal and given one speech.
