[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 75613, member: 3388"] Kjs, in my humble opinion, you've been given great advice. The only thing I can think of to add is maybe trying to find someone to support you and go with you to school meetings. In my state there are free services available to help parents deal with school problems. Although all of the agencies that provide free help to parents have good intentions, it isn't easy finding someone who really has the time to help. I've found that it takes lots of networking and hard work to find someone in one of these agencies who not only has the time to help you, but also shares your opinions concerning what is best for your difficult child. I was very lucky to find a great agency to help me. It was well worth the time and frustration it took finding such wonderful people. I was also lucky because we have a new SPED director who really does have the children's best interests at heart. However, even with our new SPED director, I NEVER would have gotten as far as I did without additional help. To me, it really sounds as though you need someone in your area to support you in getting what you need from the SD. You shouldn't have to do this alone!!! Although this bb is a tremendous source of support, knowledge, and comfort, we can't be with you physically as you're going through all of this. I understand the pain you're going through. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping your difficult child gets everything he needs and deserves!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
