[QUOTE="kisco, post: 557522, member: 8577"] Hi, you have been given great advice so far. I wanted to add that you should always focus on the child's ability to access the curriculum. Clearly a child with documented emotional issues that impact ability to attend class is UNABLE to access the curriculum. It is best to phrase things this way, as this is the legal language that is used for obtaining an IEP. Your using the phrases "*NOT* negatively affecting her ability to receive an education?" has no legal weight. You need letters from her doctor, esp her psychiatrist, specifically classifying her condition and the fact that her condition is preventing her from accessing the curriculum. This is crucial, as doctors are "experts" and the committee must at least consider their input. Ask for something from the hospital as well, they usually complete evaluations with recommendations as part of the in patient process. Note that her grades are NOT a legal argument for an IEP. Grades are not a legal consideration for the special education committee. Her "classification" - that is, her disability, is. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
