[QUOTE="totoro, post: 349102, member: 3155"] Oh I want whatever she can get as far as services in any setting we can get. The problem is is that she does very well in the beginning, 1st grade she did pretty well at the School. We kept forewarning them. But does that do much? No. She does not get violent in school and she does not have many outbursts. She is more harmful to herself, mentally. So this year, we started slowly again, we warned them again that she needs social help and that she is not (in our opinion) progressing the way an 8 yo should. That she is slowly falling behind and will continue from the rest of the class. It took almost 1/2 the year for it to really become clear just how true this is. She tries so hard and she tries to hold it in. She tries to fit in, she will do anything not to stand out. She is not a problem in class per se. There are 2 other Autistic girls in her class who are lower functioning as far as academics. So they demand more from the aide as far as academics. The problem is, no-one knows where Kendall's head is half of the time. How do we IEP this? She doesn't cause a problem, she is just sort of lost. She doesn't really need someone attached to her. If we could we would love to send her to a School that specialized in kids like her. That could implement a plan just for how she thinks and works. That could help her deal and grow. I just can't seem to find one any where around here nor do I think we could afford one at this point in time. There is Devereux near here. How do you IEP a kid who is delusional? But no-one can pin it down as to a %? I have to talk to her therapist we haven't had a serious talk about all of this stuff. She suggested bringing in a Social Skills Coach from the outside. medications are still being worked out. We are still titrating up the Lamictal she is at 100mg. She is using Seroquel PRN the past couple weeks for mania. She is still at 5 mg Focalin. She is hitting her downslide after being manic for a long time. I think this will be the apt now that we discuss the next medication move. [/QUOTE]
