[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 80856, member: 23"] I don't find it bizarre, but it does tell me that your daughter is struggling, and perhaps, that your school district is looking for a more economical means of educating her. That in and of itself is not a bad thing. It's when the placement change is based on strictly economical decisions rather than the child's need that many problems arise. What I'm reading here is that because your daughter is taking too much time, they want to move her somewhere else. I would recommend that you not accept the independent living curriculum. WAY too early for that attitude in my opinion. An autism placement may be good a good thing. I don't know; check out any program they have before agreeing to a new placement -- including visiting/observing the classroom. Schools sometimes forget that an IEP = Individual Education Program and to be delivered in the LRE (Least Restrictive Environment). IEP doesn't mean moving a child from one predesigned curriculum to another. For instance, if your daughter needs a 1:1 para to keep her mainstreamed, that's what you should ask for. Because of the cost of a ligitimate autism placement, I'd think they would be willing to use a 1:1 para. But beware. A paraprofessional is not just a babysitter. The individual should be appropriately trained to meet the student's needs. [/QUOTE]
