[QUOTE="slsh, post: 469635, member: 8"] Given difficult child's age, I think you probably should trust your gut re: them trying to move him. First off - you know they are required to provide you 10 days prior written notice of an upcoming IEP mtg. This calling on Friday for a Monday mtg is bologna. Since you already said yes, I'd go, but I would not hesitate to stop the mtg if it heads in a bad direction and tell them that since they failed to provide 10-day PWN, they've taken you completely off guard. The mtg will have to be reconvened and of course, you will need your 10-day PWN. Lots of thoughts going thru my mind. Lots of questions - is difficult child 14-1/2 yet? Has anything re: transition planning been started? While I know 22 seems a long way off, I think you really need to sit down and think about what he will need to be as independent as possible as an adult. Do you think he will be able to go to college? Work independently? Live independently? Depending on the answers, I think *that* is what should be guiding [U]your[/U] planning for his IEP. Does that make sense? What does his current programming do to help prepare him for the future? Your psychiatric has *excellent* points - if the behaviors aren't documented, they can't come back X weeks later and say "oh this happened", especially if documentation is part of his IEP/BIP. I think the socialization is also extremely important. Unfortunately, in my own experience (and it is just one person's experience), the older my daughter son got, the more resistant the SD got in terms of LRE/mainstreaming (I'm being very kind to my SD - "hostile" to LRE would be closer to the truth, though still not quite there :winking: ). In the meantime, I'd get the behavior sheets together and prepare to point out when/where BIP/IEP has not been followed. It sounds like, and this is just a guess, following difficult child's BIP/IEP has become a challenge for the SD and (sorry, my bias against SD's is showing ) it's far easier for them to move him than to follow IEP. Was the trained behavior aide in IEP? The last years of school are a *real* bear. Hang in there - deep breaths! [/QUOTE]
