[QUOTE="klmno, post: 218923, member: 3699"] It sounds to me like they are putting you off- they are trying to side track giving him an iep (or going through the evaluation for it) and doing it in such a way that you won't notice, because they are being so nice. They're trying to make you feel lucky if he gets the 504. That's just my opinion, but it wouldn't be the first time this has happened. I think you should make sure they do give him the evaluation process for an IEP. Particularly when we have kids who have already been in a psychiatric hospital and dealing with mood cycling and the host of issues that will most certainly effect his behavior and ability to function acedemicly from time to time for years, at least. The IEP puts in certain requirements regarding suspensions from school, school placement, requirements for supports and accountability from the school. Gather up some armour and prepare to be a warrior mom on Monday- prepare yourself and asks questions here on the board between now and then. Just don't settle for anything less than the iep process and be aware that they are trying to dodge it, in my humble opinion. He definitely does qualify for it and he definitely needs it. My son's classification is listed as Emotional Disturbance rather than Other Health Impairment (OHI) but that isn't the biggest issue. Getting him on an iep where he has protection from getting kicked out over too many issues or he gets left behind or falls through the cracks are the biggest issues. You might need to fight for it, but you can do it. If you have any paper that says his diagnosis on it from a psychiatrist or psychiatric hospital, I'd take it to the meeting with you on Monday and don't settle for less than a commitment to start the process.
