[QUOTE="SRL, post: 85122, member: 701"] I didn't have to fight the district for services but I will agree that they really took notice (translation: started talking retention and upped the level of services) once the school refusal started in. Like most parents, I went to great lengths to get him there...which I realized in hindsight was contributing greatly to his anxiety. He really needed another plan. FWIW, if my SD had denied services for half day kindergarten, they would have had no choice when all day first grade hit because all hell broke loose when he was hit with that. Our school district was understanding about the falling apart the moment they left school issue, but then again it's a large district and most the team members had experience in dealing with kids who struggled with anxiety. The school psychiatric flat out said it wasn't fair to the family and one of the first things they try is to put something into the child's schedule to help them vent some steam at the end of the day. My difficult child had a classroom break with an aide 20 minutes before the end of the day. They said one student in another school was taken to the gym and got to run laps--after 5 minutes of that he could handle reentry. If I were you, I would ask for accomodations to address Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and classroom breaks to help with the anxiety/home meltdown cycle. If you need to stealthily video an afterschool meltdown to convince them, then do it. If there are any social issues whatsoever, early in the child's schooling is the time to address them. Didn't any of the specialists that have seen her make school recommendations? [/QUOTE]
