[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 614081, member: 2196"] I agree with you all that it is time to get an advocate. I looked into one awhile ago, corresponded with them by email, and never heard back. At the time, difficult child just started the new school and seemed to be doing well, so I didn't push it. It's sad it's gotten to this point where I need one, but obviously it's necessary so that's what I will do. The more I lay in bed and thought about it last night, the angrier I became. This principal obviously did not do her research before she called me. She didn't even bother to read her recently updated IEP. She demanded proof from her gastroenterologist that she has ulcers. She wanted a list of all her medications. She demanded proof she is bipolar and has an anxiety disorder. All she had to do is read the d*** IEP and she would have seen it. It was all updated 3 months ago. There are detailed notes from both difficult child's doctors stating her diagnoses, current medications, treatments, and recommendations. psychiatrist in particular wrote a rather extensive letter stating difficult child's illnesses and the impact they are having on her education. His recommendation was home teaching, which I later found out is not possible for us, because it requires another adult to be present in the home. That is why she was referred to this new school, which is supposed to cater to kids with psychiatric disorders like her. I am rather upset that the principal did not bother to read the IEP before demanding all sorts of proof that the school already has. I am appalled that a school that is supposed to be geared towards emotionally disturbed kids has a principal that is lacking in empathy. I hope I don't have to deal with her often, otherwise it's going to be a long two and a half years. It looks like I am going to have to do my research and get somebody to back me up. I wish it wasn't necessary, but that's the way it is. [/QUOTE]
