[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 378275, member: 3493"] Good news about the psychiatrist. I hope that he meshes with you and difficult child and that you can finally get her medications pinned down. As for homeschooling, I looked into it but opted against it for my oldest boy because I felt that he needed to be around other kids. I did send him to a BOCES alternative HS for grades 10 - 12 and that was great but homeschool was not for me. I don't know if, based on what you've said, homeschooling would be best for your situation. If you find a job and have to stop during the middle of the school year, that would disrupt her. She might not cooperate and NY is strict about testing and results for homeschoolers so she'd need to be doing passing work. I would continue to look at the BOCES schools in case she can't maintain at the district school. I don't know the ones in Suffolk like I do the Nassau ones so I can't make any recommendations but I am sure that you could call and visit them. I visited a couple in my county on my own by calling and explaining that I was thinking of asking my SD to refer but wanted to visit first. I went back to one with H and difficult child when he was in 6th grade. The rubber room apparently scared him into submission since he's now an 11th grade honor student. Anyway, maybe the psychiatrist can give you insight into what type of school setting might have the best chance of giving her FAPE. [/QUOTE]
