[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 106011, member: 2423"] Thanks, everyone, for all your good advice. I called our county SD today. The woman I spoke with (in the Office of Placement) told me that federal law requires Difficult Child (where difficult child's private school is) to conduct the screening to see if he is eligible for Special Education services AS LONG AS difficult child 1 is enrolled in his private school. If we pull difficult child 1 out of his private school and enroll him in our home high school, our county SD would do the screening. I think this info jives with what SRL and Martie posted. We ended up not sending difficult child 1 to the Wisconsin program because he was petrified about being away from home. We instead placed him in a day treatment program at a psychiatric hospital in Virginia (it's really complicated when you live in the Difficult Child metro area). We're waiting about a week to see how difficult child 1 is doing and what the day treatment program might recommend for afterwards. We're not ready to pull him out of his private school yet in the event we want to keep it as an option. So I'm thinking we should start the screening process in Difficult Child. But I'm going to talk with an advocate first because the situation is so complicated. Thanks again for all your advice. [/QUOTE]
