[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 567989, member: 455"] I'm sorry she was such a pita. :( There are some that are like that. I recall a school nurse in the state prior to where we are now that was kind of similar in demands. Ms. Queen has a standing order from a major medical university that she can not run or jump in gym. It's been part of her IEP for a couple of years now. Unfortunately we had moved to another state and the school nurse said that particular state would not accept it. I also learned that the note that was on file actually wasn't dated by the dr! I think that the previous state accepted it because the university is well known and accepted so they had no problem and probably also didn't even notice the problem with date. I never saw the note as it was faxed to school at the time or else "I" would have had a problem with it myself! So, like you, I had to try and back track and get another note from the original dr from the other state. I tried calling the nurse in his office. She said there is no way he will redo the note unless she was seen again by him, which wasn't going to happen now. I was not in the position to get another new note as there was NO dr in the area that would see or treat her since she requires specialized treatment. It turned into a big mess. The closest place was over 5 hours away and she wasn't due to go there for another 6 months. The principal of the school decided that he wasn't going to take any chances and pulled her from ALL gym! This is a child that desperately needs physical activity due to weight issues and the only time she gets any is through gym at school. They should have really modified it at the very least but refused. It was easier for them to say NO gym. REALLY? You can't modify it but you can arbitrarily say NO gym? We ended up moving away to this state but before I left I had to have the final IEP meeting at end of year and I let the principal know that he violated the ADA code for modifications of gym and violated her right to participate by denying her it! Sounds like you may be having similiar issues with them denying the right to education over this? [/QUOTE]
