[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 109328, member: 3493"] I didn't pay a penny to fight for either of the out-of-district placements I have. My 6th grader is at a private school for kids with LDs, primarily dyslexia, and no behavioral issues. I documented and kept having meeting after meeting for my oldest son. I think they just wanted to get rid of me and if it took shipping my son out, well so be it. I also went to every placement they sent me to, no matter how inappropriate so they couldn't say I didn't cooperate. My Aspie-like son was fairly easy to get into a OOD placement based on what I have heard on the board here, but that's because his is considered public school. It's a consortium of districts who pool resources to educate kids that would fall through the cracks. If one district has one or two or three of these kids and 40 districts get together, they have a school and that's where he is. The 6th grader's placement was tougher because the private school and busing probably cost about $40K a year. They tried to convince me the middle school could service him, but I knew it couldn't. He's too high functioning for self-contained but requires too much support for regular gen ed with an every other day resource period (the only options). I believe I actually got it because we are still within the statute of limitations for the assault my now 8th grader's math teacher committed against him when he was in 6th grade and the SD really doesn't want me to sue. There actually is an inclusion program but it's taught by the same team as the assault teacher and we weren't going there! Have you consulted an advocate? How about your local autism group? They may have resources or ideas on how to find and get him into a more beneficial school situation. [/QUOTE]
