[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 605056, member: 15799"] Our school tried HARD to send difficult child 1 to an alternative school. The minute they even mentioned it, I got the county social worker, an autism specialist, and a PACER advocate to help me fight it with the school. We were in mediation when difficult child 1 became so depressed he went fetal and almost catatonic that I just pulled him out altogether. Do you know the parents? Would you be willing and able to talk to them? Maybe they are where many parents are and don't know they can fight the school much less how to do it. Maybe the boy needs something in his IEP to prevent him with anger, frustration, protection, bullying, etc. Have you thought about being an advocate? I think you'd make a great one after all you've been through with your own kids. Maybe that's what these parents need. I really feel for the boy having watched what happens in these other schools.
