[QUOTE="Loony Smurf, post: 628734, member: 1695"] Well, I've been doing the IEP routine since my 19 yr old was 5 so I pretty much know the drill on regular supports. The last few years however this school district has been in a force mainstream routine. They flat out disagree with parents on what the kid needs, always teaming up to say what the parent wants is unnecessary. They use the least restrictive environment clause, and insist they don't need a stricter environment. Then if the kid starts failing in that area, they find different reasons to send them to the office and suspend them. Therefore the kid is labeled a problem child, and can even have criminal charges filed. The schools (particularly the high school) are of the mindset that they're almost adults, they need to start acting like it and unless they are in a wheelchair or have some real physical disability then they do NOT need an aide. So I know already I'll have to fight tooth and nail and I have to have an advocate that will back me up or they ride roughshod over me despite my insistences. Every year they try him in a few mainstream classes and it's ALWAYS bad. But they refuse to listen. [/QUOTE]
