[QUOTE="Martie, post: 111316, member: 284"] You have a very complicated situation and everyone has given very good suggestions. Here is one more: EVERYONE should drop the use of the word "BEST" of anything. We all want what is "best" for our children, but special education students are not entitled to "the best." They are only entitled to what is "appropriate." You can save yourself a headache, a lot of argument and in some cases, time, if you use the word "appropriate" instead of BEST. I know the above upsets parents, but it has been the law since 1982, and only four states exceed the federal "appropriate" requirement, including Michigan and TN...and two others that have escaped my slightly over-stressed brain. Keep on fighting for your kid....he's got a great advocate in you. Martie [/QUOTE]
