[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 610985, member: 15799"] Remind the school that they cannot diagnose and that your professional(s) disagree with those diagnoses anyway. That is their personal "opinion". If they insist on those diagnosis's request, in writing, the questionaires and documentation and the diagnostics to show what criteria of each of those the TESTING shows he meets. Definitely "disagree" with their plan and state why. As one of the others said, it starts the "Stay Put" rule. Definitely fight the placement. I spent 6 months in monthly IEP meetings with every specialist I could gather to fight the school. They were insistent that my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son go to a "behavioral placement". They refused to see that his anxiety was causing the exact scenarios you're describing. He was doing everything in his power to "flee" the uncomfortable situation that was unbearable to him. When he was in the psychiatric hospital, he even told the female nurse that he could get her fired by saying she'd "touched" him. She hadn't but he was scared to death and nothing else was working. They can be soooo smart in ways you'd rather they not be. Good luck. Keep us posted. What you've shared is really hitting home for me. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} [/QUOTE]
