[QUOTE="Martie, post: 13632, member: 284"] Whether or not you can find a local, on-site advocate depends upon where you live. I don't know anything about the school code of WVA, but I picture the state as rural, which does not improve your odds of finding an advocate. Even an attorney won't help--you need an attorney with deep expetise in Sp Ed. law. WCF outlines the homework options nicely. Your family life should not be further destroyed by homework wars. Both Sheila and I have had homework restricted for our kids. I did a combo of #2 and #3--written into the IEP. It kept ex-difficult child in public school for two years longer than otherwise would have been possible. You REALLY need someone who knows Special Education law. You can take the social worker--because no one should go alone--but the person who is the most likely candidate to become an expert on sp ed law is YOU, if you cannot find an advocate.
