[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 617583, member: 7170"] If school is not implementing the IEP you need to send them written notification of what they are missing. It shocks me the fact that my kids teachers didn't have access to (so couldn't read) my kids IEP, they don't even print them out anymore. They send the teachers a single sheet of paper that lists accommodations, but that is it. All their students on one sheet of paper that was printed before addendum's were done. So all that stuff we fixed the first 2 weeks of school teachers don't know about until I point it out to them. I'm not above sending teachers copies of kids IEP that I've highlighted where I feel they dropped the ball. I hope that all testing and evaluation requests are in writing if not request again in writing. Does your son have a BIP (behavior intervention plan) as part of his IEP? If not request they do Functional Behavior Assessment and devise a BIP for him; he's not learning while being suspended for behaviors he may or may not be able to control. Beware of "cookie cutter" BIP's that are not tailored to the needs of YOUR CHILD. Cutting him off from lunch (food) would bring on more behavior problems then it would solve. It really gets me angry when schools get so stuck in punishment mode that they forget they are suppose to teach. I understand teachers get burnt out but I doubt anyone went into teaching so they could torture children. Be weary of programs that only deal with behaviors without looking at what is causing these behaviors. Sometimes you can get referrals for advocates thru your state board of education, here community mental health (children's clinic) has advocates they refer people to, word of mouth - if can identify parents that belong to kids in self contained classrooms they often are a hidden resource - any kids at that school have one on one aides?

School can't/won't release info on those parents, you kind of have to chase them down and give them your phone # yourself (sounds crazy but it's how I got many of the families I help) When it comes to advocacy I'm like the guy in the movie Storm of the Century - "GIVE ME WHAT I WANT AND I WILL GO AWAY" LOL there are a couple districts around here that dislike dealing with me so much they usually do just that to get me to go away.
