[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 566750, member: 1550"] I would do three things. In fact, I did do them after Sonic had his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis. 1/Forget the 504. It won't be enough and can't really be enforced. I'd ask for an IEP, doing it the proper way. 2/I'd call my STATE department of public education. Speech problems are a part of autism and it is insane that your son can't get services when he clearly has trouble with speech. Only your dept. of public education can help you with this school district. Also, if they don't have services in their county they are mandated to send your son, at their expense and transportation costs, to a county that does have those services. 3/Find out who your free parent advocate is and sit down and get her on board with you and bring her to all of your meetings. Don't go alone. You are dealing with a stubborn school district and you will have to go over their heads to get anything done. been there done that. And, yes, we got everything we asked for. It was stressful, but it really helped our son. You need to put your armor on. When they are not cooperating, even when they smile, you have no choice but to fight for what your son deserves and needs. Your state Dept. of Public Education would know the name of your free parent advocate. When you call the Dept. of Public Education, which is probably located in your capital, ask for the person in charge of students with special needs and tell her your story. [/QUOTE]
