[QUOTE="DDD, post: 34414, member: 35"] Sending supportive thoughts your way. My post will be quick but I do have a couple of important thoughts to share. In our system there is a Manifestation Hearing that takes place when a child is up for suspension or expel. If that is part of your system I think you should insist that it take place just to add to your records. (The Principal, 2 teachers, 2 guidance staff and the parent gather here for a meeting to ascertain if the action that took place was purposeful or if it was a manifestation of the students disability.) Regarding attorneys...hiring private attorneys does not always provide the expected benefit. When our son was 14 we hired an attorney that I had worked with as a volunteer Guardian Ad Litem some years before. He was caring as well as well qualified BUT he did not do much in Juvie court with his practice. As a result he did not have a "daily" working relationship with the attorneys in the States Attorneys office who worked juvie. I suggest that you do alot of deep research on attorneys to see who has deep experience on the issues you are facing. Call the school board, call the mental health professionals, call NAMI, call everyone you can think of and ask for referrals. I'll say a prayer for you and your family today. DDD [/QUOTE]
