[QUOTE="slsh, post: 39916, member: 8"] Steph, sweetie - I wish you a lot of luck. I was astonishingly unsuccessful in stopping this cr*p with- Boo. I even filed a complaint with- OCR when his "class" was moved to an administration building - not a school, an administration building. How the heck you can have FAPE in LRE in an admin bldg is beyond me, but OCR in its infinite wisdom decided that this wasn't discrimination. Where, I ask, are the *non* sped kids that are being shuffled around like chess pieces? They're not. The only reason our kids are moved around is *because* they're disabled. My 18 year old senior is currently attending "school" in a junior high (yep, junior high) 20 miles away from our home, passing at least *5* high schools in the process, because this junior high was the only building in the south suburbs that had "space". Even the admin bldg kicked them out. His FAPE in LRE consists of getting bused to a HS on Mon morning for "library time", bused back to Jr. high for hygiene, then bused *back* to HS for lunch, then bused back to Jr high for the rest of the day. Whooppeee, one lunch a week with- high school students. Aren't we lucky??? I cannot figure out how this qualifies as anything more than a phenomenal waste of time but... at this point, I've completely given up. My son has a disability and is absolutely *forbidden* from attending anything remotely approaching an age appropriate school, apparently. I only have unkind thoughts that I think frequently about the state of sped in IL. [img]:wink:[/img] by the way - the "reason" this garbage is allowed is really unbeatable if you're the SD. Placement isn't a place, its the program. So if the *program* moves from here to Timbuktu, that's actually not a change in placement. Based on how it works in IL, if the child breathes the same air as non sped students once a week, that's FAPE in LRE. I feel your anger and hope you are a better advocate for your kiddo than I've been for mine. Quite frankly, it bites! [/QUOTE]
