[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 148018, member: 4362"] First, I would definitely call the sped lawyer. Your SD is not in compliance! Your difficult child should qualify for the day treatment program under an ED diagnosis, so make sure that the IEP states that instead of OHI (which is where they place most of our difficult children). Your school district has to put your child into a learning situation in which he is actually learning. As a teacher I can understand the teachers giving your difficult child a zero on assignments that are not turned in. However, if he's considered SE, then it is there responsibility to find out why the assignments are not turned in and to make sure that he has the help he needs to complete the assignments in a timely manner. It sounds like this isn't being done. It took me almost two years, but I did get my difficult child into a school that has a day treatment program attached to it. The SD pays for the tuition (it's a nonpublic school) and provides door to door transportation as well. This is the law per IDEA. We had to go through several schools and an expulsion before he got sent here, and the school district has agreed that in retrospect, the expulsion should never have occurred. But at least he's found a soft place to land, and is doing well. You should also be aware that the school district will keep trying the least cost solution until it is clear that it isn't working, and that the Warrior Parents are pushing back. This particular school takes kids from two counties and several school districts, which is often the case in these types of schools. Keep pushing and you'll get there. [/QUOTE]
