[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 92109, member: 23"] If a child needs transportation to get to school and doesn't have it, it's an educational need. Non attendance causes adverse educational impact. Transportation to school is a related service and should be included in the IEP. If a child with-an IEP has to be transportated to school, it has to be done at no expense to the parent even if it requires medical transport, taxi, etc. It's pleasing to me personally when a school district recognizes a problem and is proactive. They tend to have a lot of liability even when students are off campus, e.g., attending outside activities or at the bus stop. If difficult child is acting out prior to the bus arriving, be prepared that they will likely request parental supervision until difficult child safely boards the bus. If that's not possible, other means of transportation will need to be discussed and agreed to. Many districts have licensed school counselors. If they do (or even if they don't) you can ask for it. It's another area where the sd and parent have to agree before it's incorporated into the IEP. As with all professionals, there are good ones and those that are not so good. I'd personally be reluctant for counseling to be done by sd personnel, but if that is your only option and you feel difficult child would benefit from it, it's your only option. In extreme cases, I have seen school districts pay for private counseling on a limited basis. But that's very rare. [/QUOTE]
