[QUOTE="klmno, post: 194315, member: 3699"] Geez, MWM, I'm so sorry to hear they are going through this. I think an advocate would be a great idea- I think you'd be a great one if you are up to it. One thing about my son's situation, which I speculate might be common- He technically had a BIP (Behavioral Intervention Plan) at school- BUT, the Functional Assessment was done by an inexperienced administrator, not by someone with knowledge about his diagnosis, which is required, and the BIP was a letter she had written stating that if my son was disruptive one more time, he would have to leave school. My son and I both were supposed to sign that (I think that was her version of a behavioral contract). I refused to sign and instructed my son not to. First of all, the assessment was not properly done, second, there was nothing in place to help him with his diagnosis, and thirdly, an unsigned agreement is not legally binding. My guess is that when the sd knows that they are dealing with people who aren't up on all the requirements, they try to pull stuff like that a lot. My guess is that is what is going on in with this family because I think that is how it got to this point. If the girl was refused day treatment because the day treatment didn't feel she needed it, then that supports the position that the school should be able to handle things in-house, in my humble opinion. She might have been violent- can you find out the specifics- was it two girls fighting or her throwing a chair at the principal or through a window? Did she take a weapon to school (that is a big one- throwing a chair across the room when you have an IEP for a disorder that effects behavior is not so much- unless it happens often). PS It sounds like this family could use a Warrior Mom present when CPS interviews them. Unless they can get an attny- but then that makes it look like they are hiding something. [/QUOTE]
