[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 174239, member: 2270"] I would say it depends on the exact situation. My personal experience is that teachers DO care, but are NOT trained in special education.(Your main stream teachers often are not trained in dealing with special needs children.) As for administration, you have some good and some bad, and they also are not always aware of all the special education laws, nor are trained properly. This will vary depending on school district. Depending on whom you are having the problem with, I would either try talking to the individual teacher(sometimes if you tell them what works for you at home, they will be more receptive, ie, when difficult child does this, we do this.) Or, if it is the teacher, try an administration person who is trained in special education law, ie the director of special education for your SD. I found that you get a lot further by educating and supporting the teachers, then by being confrontational. Just my humble opinion. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
