[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 98471, member: 23"] Poor little guy. And poor mom. I can't add much to what's already been said in the two threads linked above except that school districts must hold students to the same general standards (behavior-wise and academically) unless the student is identified as a student with a disability. A student must qualify via the sd's evaluation process for an IEP under IDEA. Although he may not be able to be responsive/participate in the various assessments the sd will use for the evaluation, it gives them information they need about present levels of performance, adaptive behavior, and information to ultimately determine eligibility. I do not agree that an IEP will do no good for your child. Without it, the sd will eventually have to try to force him to conform and perform. When they do, it will likely create additional problems. But legally, there's only so much they can do without an IEP in place. I don't know what your child may need, but a few examples of what a sd can not do without the child having an IEP. provide a 1:1 aide provide smaller classroom setting provide homebound services provide related services (Occupational Therapist (OT),language therapy, etc.) I do agree that a 504 Plan would not be helpful -- they often are not helpful even in simple situations where they should be. As discussed in one of your other threads, I also strongly encourage you to get a private neuropsychologist evaluation or a private multidisciplinary evaluation. [/QUOTE]
