[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 50870, member: 1550"] Hi. Boy, I feel for you. I get so irritated when supports help, yet we are threatened with losing them. I've been in your shoes. What I finally had to do was call the Dept. of Public Instruction for our state, which is usually in the state capital, and ask for the Special Needs Advocate. She really lit a fire under the school district's :censored: and my son continued his services. He didn't have any firm diagnosis. at your child's age--just ADHD/ODD (possible), speech delays, cognitive delay not otherwise specified (the garden variety stuff). We found it hard to get services until we had a more solid diagnosis, and that didn't happen until he was 11, so we fought for him all the way and, yes, it got tiring.
