[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 218776, member: 5848"] Hey butterflydreams, Let me know if I've got this correct. Your son has emotional/behavioral difficulty that resulted in the need for hospitilization. Because of this he has missed school for a large portion of time. He's now behind because of missing so much time. Does this sound right? In response the school said this? huh? I think they may have meant that because he isn't Special Education currently he can't have an IEP without going through the evaluation process to see if he's eligible. It sounds like what some have said so far will help (requesting an evaluation- certified letter- and meeting with the counselor/principal). It is quite possible the school doesn't know the extent of the situation. When I first read your post my initial thoughts were that: 1. Students who receive special services have to be students with a disability. 2. There has to be a negative educational impact. 3. Lack of appropriate instruction in reading or math cannot be the primary problem (for learning disabilities). It sounds like this is the perfect situation to get an IEP since: 1. There deinitely sounds like there is appropriate documentation for a disability. (school district will most likely still do their own evaluation) 2. I'm pretty sure there is a documented educational impact (there has to be after missing so much school). Just a note...and I don't know your situation butterflydreams so please don't take this personally. In retrospect it probably would have been helpful to have contacted/requested from the school when this all began (not sure from your original post if you did...). This is my thought because I have no idea how any reasonable sd after hearing everything could refuse to start an IEP/504 process. :confused1: I think Monday may turn out better than you think. I hope. An IEP would be more helpful and is more likely to be enforced BUT a 504 can help your son to catch up as well. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
