[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 367594, member: 47"] All schools in Ca. have to provide you with a list of Parent Advocates in their district. But having said this, most of them were X SD employees and I didn't trust them even if they said the sun came up in the east, would have to go check it for myself. I had hired someone from T.A.S.K. (Team Advocates for Special Kids) in Anaheim to handle placements. Maybe you can contact them and get a referral for someone up in your end of the state. This is going back a few years, but had to fight tooth and nail with the SD to get my difficult child classified under AB3632-but once he was, his mental health person was a part of the IEP team. The problem with the placements in these alternative schools, day treatment centers, is that they are all in one or two classroom, various ages and disabilities, and packets of "grade appropriate" work is handed to them to do on their own, with a teacher there for help. Although I understand the "label" view by the doctor, in Ca I believe you have to have at least two diagnosis's for classification under ED. I think I would want to know what these are-if you don't know what they are how in the heck are you supposed to figure out what is the best outside placement, if any? Marcie [/QUOTE]
