[QUOTE="Martie, post: 86868, member: 284"] Sheila is absolutely right--I predict the SD will win this one because there will be no way to get him to attend even if he gets into this alternative school. The SD is obligated to evaluate him upon parent (not professional only) request. The advice you gave on social maladjustment is very good. If they call him that, the mother should immediately correct them in writing stating whatever the therapist said about anxiety, etc. Where his girlfriend is is not relevant, although it might be if it would get him to go to school. IF this boy would attend, the the SD is required to provide him with an education. However, getting him to the evaluation appointments, and the IEP meeting would be a challenge. by the way, if he is 18, then his "rights" have transferred to him and the SD can cut the mother out of the process (nice, huh?) How to handle this is to get the kid to give the mother limited power of attorney to make educational decisions for him. SDs HATE this but they can't have it both ways: if a child is "adult" enough to defend his own rights with a very unwilling SD, then he is "adult" enough to be competent to grant POA to anyone he chooses. Only minors and people declared incompetent may NOT grant POA. Martie [/QUOTE]
