[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 201848, member: 2423"] Special Education is not a place (special classes). Special Education is meeting the educational needs of a student who has a disability with services and accommodations. Personal opinion: I would not meet with this social worker. I would send a letter certified mail or hand delivered requesting a "full and initial evaluation in accordance with IDEA to determine whether difficult child is eligible for special education and related services." ODD can be a tricky diagnosis because school officials will perceive it as behavior and not a disability. As oppositional as my son has been over the years, he has never received a diagnosis of ODD because all the professionals evaluating and treating him believe his oppossitional behavior is fueled by his bipolar disorder. Is there any way that could be true in your difficult child's case? [/QUOTE]
