[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 7635, member: 289"] I just wanted to say that they are blowing smoke about not being able to get an IEP on behaviors alone. Behaviors do cause an adverse educational impact...your child is out of class. My daughter has an IEP, with a BIP being the most integral part of it. She qualifies as gifted, reads several grade levels above her current grade, and has never had anything but A's and B's on her report card. Don't let them jerk you around this way. They know he will qualify for an IEP based on his ADHD or whatever is causing his behavior problems. They are counting on you not to know this. Trust me been there done that. You have to become your child's advocate, and it isn't going to be an easy road under the best of circumstances, and likely to be harder if you have a school district who isn't cooperative. Just think of it if you had a child with a physical illness you would fight to get the best medical advise and care possible, then relate the problems he does have to a similar scenario. Giving up is not an option as your son cannot fight for his own rights, but he does have rights. You have come to a great place for support, and I am sure others with better advise will come along, but I just wanted you to know that your school district is trying to pull a typical stunt when the primary problem is behavioral. How long has it been since you sent the letter requesting the evaluation? If it is just recently, then give them some time to comply, then follow up with a request on where they are with the evaluation. They can't just tell you they won't evaluation him as they don't believe he will qualify. Well, I guess they can, but it isn't legal. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
