[QUOTE="oceans, post: 5453, member: 2687"] difficult child had a behavior plan in middle school, and last year we had added strategies to deal with his issues in school. At the transition meeting (at the end of the school year)the new IEP did not have ANY of the new supports which we had added. I was told that in high school kids are expected to "grow up" and become more responsible, and they did not do those things in high school. These were things like what to do in situations when he was unable to work, or acting out in the classroom. Now he is in highschool and his behaviors are the same as always. He is sometimes not feeling up to working and tells the teacher he can't (this causes a major problem for them). Other times he is acting out when bored and drawing on desks/throwing paper around. Now that they took the supports out for these things, everyone at school is alarmed and not knowing what to do. They called us for a meeting to be next Monday morning. I am wondering if I can request that these behaviors be addressed in the behavior plan again, or what I am up against since they told me they refused to address these behaviors any longer at the transition meeting. The second thing I am dealing with is that difficult child has a sleep problem and will be doing a sleep study soon. He sometimes falls asleep and is unable to stay awake or wake up. One night he could not read because he was exhausted and sleeping. The English teacher was going to make him do detention because he did not do the reading, rather to let him make it up the next day. She feels that he has to do the detention each and every time he misses something, even if it is due to the medical/psychological issues he is facing. He has been acting out because he does not think this is fair, and actually neither to I. I don't feel she is gaining anything by forcing this on him and it is in fact making things worse. How can we address this issue? Could it be added to the IEP, or is it that in high school there is no choice. It seems that high school becomes a very IEP unfriendly place. Is it supposed to be like this? [/QUOTE]
