[QUOTE="Martie, post: 5576, member: 284"] Sue, What they want you to do is withdraw him. They KNOW he will be one of the students who is around until 21--as well he should be. As far as the food thing goes: if they have had him for 6 YEARS with no gagging, then IF they want proof he won't gag (an Rx for FOOD---OMG) then they have to pay for it. I understand that you don't want him to have an invasive test for such a stupid reason but I would tell them to schedule an app't with the M.D. of their choice (it's evaluation. so they must pay if they feel it is necessary) and then BRING ALL THEIR EVIDENCE that this is a medical concern. All you need to bring is yourself to explain there has never been an incident. If you would feel more comfortable, get Boo's own doctor to put that in writing (but don't reveal it to the SD--only to their doctor when you get there.) Of course the doctor will think the SD is out of its mind. Perhaps they will even realize that this is stupid and confronted with the realization they will have to present non-existent evidence (and pay for it) they will decide Boo can eat just fine. I know less about diapering incontinent kids but I do know they must change him as needed. If the looseness is medication related and he is not contagious (for whatever the antibiotics were prescribed for), then I don't think they can send him home. If they do they are depriving him of whatever FAPE (not much I realize) he is supposed to be getting. Exactly what to do about this, I am not sure. How does Boo get to school? If it is by bus, can you put him on the bus and then not answer the phone? If they don't change him, then there is a real problem of not following his IEP, harming him, etc. Part of what to do depends upon how Boo feels about it. I know what I have suggested is not much but every time I read your posts I have the same thought: "pushout" in progress because he is over 16 and his "class" will graduate this year. Martie [/QUOTE]
