[QUOTE="Andy, post: 337598, member: 5096"] My children went through elementary at a private school. It does not matter where the student goes to school, the school district is responsible for providing services to help that child. We had several kids from our school who was either bussed or a teacher came to our school to work with them. I would think it in the best interest of the private school to abide by an IEP. During registration at our private school, that question is asked, "Is there an IEP in place." If our teachers saw a need in any area, they would refer the family to the school district to receive special services (Title I is the most common that I hear). I was fortunate in our private school that the teachers bent over backwards to do whatever was necessary to help my difficult child get an education. With the excellent teamwork I had with the teachers, I didn't feel like I needed to go to the district for the IEP. The teachers gladly did as I asked and whatever the doctors suggested. Some private schools may not accept students with IEP's but I would think that would be very rare. The complexity of the student's needs may also not be well met in the private setting (they don't have the staffing sometimes) so they would not accept the enrollment. Just depends on the needs of the student and if that school felt they were qualifed to meet those needs. This is in Minnesota. I don't know about other states but it would make sense that the school district is responsible for the child's education and you can go into the district office or councelor's office and ask for help as if your child went to public school. You can give your state's Department of Education a call and ask them what the school district is suppose to help with. Your child's doctor may be able to refer to a psychologist that your insurance does cover. difficult child does mean Gift from God! [/QUOTE]
