[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571556, member: 1514"] Buddy, Cory was in no way anything like your son and I made a huge mistake in letting the school get away with forcing him out the door. They will do it in a heartbeat. In your case Im not sure how you are going to stop them. I think in some way this has to go above district level and the "free and appropriate" part has to come into it. They cannot provide what he needs anywhere and that is just beyond obvious. They have stated it over and over again. I think for all concerned it would be in everyone's best interest...including the taxpayer's whom they seem so concerned about...to provide some sort of individualized program for Q. It would have to be a home bound education but not with you as a teacher. I am thinking more of something where they send out a special education teacher who is specifically trained in brain injuries. I think it would be a bit easier to bring them up to speed on autistic strategies rather than what part is due to brain injuries personally that is why I think someone who is trained in brain injuries would be better. Then I think maybe he should go out to a place every day...be it an office or somewhere to do this home bound schooling so he has a schedule because he thrives on schedules. From there he can go with this teacher to his Occupational Therapist (OT), speech, horse stuff, dog stuff, whatever. The school system needs to provide this. I dont give a darn what they have to do to make this happen. Maybe they have to use an old gymnasium at a school that is no longer being used or maybe he is using part of some building at the board of ed. I dont care where the home part is but he has to go somewhere. They need to make this happen. You have found tons of special needs Occupational Therapist (OT)'s, speech folks and all that other stuff that they can take him to as part of his school day. Then there comes the time for looking at what his life is going to look like when he is an adult. You do need to start getting on that as soon as you can. Get him on every waiting list as soon as you can. You know you are going to need to have that perfect place for him and you want to transition him in well. He is going to have to have an aide with him. We all know that. This is not going to be easy. I feel for you so much.
