[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 99075, member: 23"] Private schools do not have to educate children with disabilities unless they want to. IDEA/IEPs do not apply. To my knowledge, the only exception to this would be if the private school accepts Federal money. Have you talked to the Headmaster to see if there is anything they are willing to do by way of accommodations at least for executive function problems, e.g., a peer to help with lockers and changing classes, help with getting homework assignments written down correctly, etc.? Your post doesn't say what type problems your child is having academically, but executive function problems can sink a student. With support, students can be much more successful -- somewhat similar to an individual in the workplace having a need for a secretary or assistant to make/cancel appointments, field phone calls, make sure all materials are assimilated for a presentation, preparing agendas, keeping the boss on schedule, etc. If you have to move you son to a public school, I recommend that you get the evaluation process for an IEP underway as soon as possible. The process takes a while and if he's already having problems with low student/teacher ratio, changing classes, etc., I'd expect him to have the same problems in public school. [/QUOTE]
