[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741392, member: 1550"] He sounds difficult and complicated and I am sorry. My only tidbit is to maybe call your state Dept. Of Public Education, usually located in the state capital. Although no school district tells you this, every single area in town has a totally FREE child/parent advocate and a good one is golden in getting things to move fast and change for the better. Our advocate had taken a school district to court and won so our school feared tondefy her and literally agreed to do everything we wanted for him and he quickly got much improved services in school and his performance soared. He was not a behavior problem but advocates work for ALL kids with school problems. Even behavioral. Just call your DPI and ask for the head of Special Needs children. You will be listened to and given the name of the advocate in your area. I felt for the first time that I was being heard in behalf of my precious son. Will it cure your kid? Probably not, but he will get the absolute best free and appropriate public education that fits him. And he will get sn aide if he needs one and other accomodations. This really made a huge difference with my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son. Hebis 25 now and living an independent practically normal life thanks to the interventions he was given to help him. I hope this gives you another path to pursue. Love and light. [/QUOTE]
