[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 513479"] I am very happy to hear you have a psychiatrist that cares and understands. THAT can be huge. I hope the Zoloft works for her. As for the school, you might be right about the IEP but the only real difference between that and a 504 (don't quote me on this) is the enforcability. I think a 504 can also have partial school days built into it. My take on the semi-independent semi-supervised setting might mean that there is someone available to help her with the work in a smaller setting, not in the regular classrooms. That should also be doable. As for her "scarred for life" issue, I know of kids that "graduate" out of their IEP. It would only be temporary. It doesn't HAVE to be permanent. As things get better for her, services will decrease again. But for now, it is necessary. I think the plan sounds good. The school might balk at it but then get an advocate to help you fight. You have medical documentation from a professional. If they won't honor that under the 504, then push for an IEP. What is the attendance person going to do/say? That she hasn't been in school, duh!! Did the psychiatrist have any helpful suggestions about getting her to eat better? [/QUOTE]
