[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 201888"] My daughter had serious school refusal and she also has severe anxiety. I got the same spiel as you from the school. And they did turn me in for truancy and set up a mediation meeting with someone from juvenile court, but I went in with guns blazing because I had been asking and asking and asking for an IEP to no avail. When I got that letter it was like a bomb exploded in my head. I called the school and ranted and told them that I knew my rights. Then I called the SpED director and described what had been going on and how desperate I was and how the school was doing nothing. This was when my daughter was in the 6th grade. No way I could physically drag her into school, but the school kept saying that I have to get her there. Her school refusal started in grade 2. 6th grade she missed 80+ days of school. At that meeting the Assistant Principal changed her tune. School refusal definitely has educational impact even though she tests above average in all subjects. That mediation meeting ended up being more of a what more can we do for you then blaming the parent for the child missing school. I think having an outside party from juvenile court there and having to explain to them why they were doing nothing when mom has been asking since the first day of school for help made a HUGE difference. It was embarrassing for them, I'm sure. So sorry you're going through this. I dreaded mornings more than anything else ever in my life. [/QUOTE]
