[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 497361, member: 2322"] somerset--I think if she is refusing to go to school there is a problem. She doesn't have to be on a 504 or a IEP to call a meeting. Write a letter requesting a full evaluation citing her refusual to go to school. Also ask if they have something like a Student team meetings for struggling students and tell them you want one for her. That might get the ball rolling. At a minimum the message to your daughter is that you are determined to get to the bottom of this, she is not running the show. When you go to work on the days that she stays home, is she home alone? One thing I did with school was to tell the school nurse that unless she actually saw my son vomiting I wanted him in school. Maybe in the nurses office but in school, I wasn't coming to get him. As for daughter refusing sleep study I would simply tell her it is not her choice. Take away electronics or what have you. No way she gets to run the show if you think there is medical info to be gained. Now she might not get in the car to go there to get one, but that's another issue. You are responsible for her medically, so it shouldn't even be much of a discussion. I would also ask for a review meeting with her therapist. What were goals, progress towards goals, does she need new goals, does the therapist think she is making progress etc. Frankly our work with therapists never got us very far but we tried many iterations. So don't be afraid to fire the therapist if you don't see some signs of progress or have a good sense that the therapist is really on top of things. Sometimes therapists let themselves be manipulated and sometimes therapy is just too divorced from the day to day things to make a difference with some of these kids. [/QUOTE]
