[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 563198, member: 11791"] OK, I'm gonna ramble here, but... you have OPTIONS. More than you think. 1) she doesn't have to take a full class-load - especially of heavy subjects. For right now? skip the worst subjects entirely (math, for one) - she can catch up "later". 2) depending on how your resource room works, they CAN provide all sorts of supports 3) if the new school will take her on a full IEP, then they CAN modify all sorts of things, including exam formats. 4) can she have at least one full period of resource room, just for doing homework and other class-work help - depending on how overwhelming the transition is, maybe she needs two of these, one in the morning and one in the afternoon Right now, the most important things (as I'm hearing them come from your posts) are: 1) she needs to be in school, every day 2) she needs to be around neuro-typical kids 3) she needs to be learning positive things at school (not stuck in some ED classroom) 4) there needs to be proper accommodations and interventions for the learning disabilities Will they take her? what are they like to work with? Will your son end up at the same school? (could be an advantage later) [/QUOTE]
