[QUOTE="starcloaked, post: 82674, member: 3632"] Oh Jules. I feel your pain. Like I said, we're really living parallel lives. They can suspend him, but I think not more than 10 days total. It's a slightly different situation, because he's not yet identified officially as special needs, but I think that the fact that you initiated the evaluation process may give you the same protections. There's a decision-tree they need to go through before that point--they need to decide whether he's disabled, and that's where I'm not sure how your request for evaluation affects things--then if so they need to determine if they're providing FAPE (appropriate being the critical thing), then they need to do an FBA and develop a behavior plan. I've been trying to get my district to do this one thing for a month now, and they haven't, but saying those words "have you done an FBA?" has made people take a very different tact with me. Find out how long they *actually* have for that evaluation, and start writing people letters. Make sure they know you're documenting everything. Hang in there. I know how awful this feels. I've been riding the same roller coaster for a month now and it's horrible. My only other advice is to get on a waiting list for a neuropsychologist evaluation NOW. You can ask the school for one, but a private one is worth its weight in gold. Strength to you... Star [/QUOTE]
