[QUOTE="Martie, post: 22652, member: 284"] Dear me, It's great you had a good vacation-- We deal in acronyms here a lot but I am stumped. What is a PH and what is an AP? If your child does NOT have an IEP--(is eligible for special education) then this AP person is one of the few in a SD who understands and owns up to the fact that the MAIN benefit of Sp Ed qualification for some difficult children is the protection from undue suspensions and expulsion is NEVER allowed--at least not at age 9. I say this over and over, "get your kid qualified BEFORE middle school to protect him." Often those without IEPs are easily pushed out or expelled. The relevant question is, "Does your child have an IEP now?" I cannot respond beyond the basics without knowing the answer. If the answer is, "No," then go to the Getting Started thread in the Archives of Sp Ed 101. In brief, there needs to be an evaluation, the manner and content of which is prescribed by law, and it must be done within 60 days, unless your state says sooner. Then there will be a qualification meeting by the evaluation team--called by different names in different staes, but it is crucial that you understand you are a FULL member of the team that makes the decision. Hopefully if the AP person thinks difficult child should be qualified, you won't have to fight. Then an IEP addressing both behavioral and academic needs would be written. FIRST, he has to qualify. I have to go to work. I'll be back on tonight. Hopefully, Sheila or someone else will provide more details and links. Martie [/QUOTE]
