[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 467491, member: 1550"] This is a horrific failure of the school district. I would actually call your state Department of Public Education and ask for the Special Education Advocate, then explain everything to that person who can and probably will get involved. To keep going to people in your own school district, who are unwilling to acknowledge and/or accomodate his serious disability and PUNISH him for them, is not going to help. but the DPI is important to each school district as they can investigate and withhold money if they don't like something. That has been the only place that has helped us at times when we had run the gamut of everyone in our school district and gotten no help from anybody. Seems they are all members of the same good ole boy/girl network in a school district and at times to have to overstep them for the sake of your child. Your son has been through more trauma than most of our kids and has been disabled because of serious medical issues. If he can't help w hat he does, the school needs to find some way to deal with it and not harm his self-esteem in the process. I would be livid. You Department of Education is usually located in your state capital. Do NOT be afraid to make waves. Although some people are afraid that to make waves means your child will be picked on, we found the opposite to be true. We found that if they knew we'd go to people who had authority over them, they actually treat our kids better than other kids are treated, and that's fine with us. Good luck and keep us posted.
