[QUOTE="slsh, post: 388617, member: 8"] OMGOSH... it never ceases to amaze me what junk SDs try to pass off to parents. Sigh... nothing like putting the cart before the horse, and on your shoulders to boot. The whole point of *evaluating* for a disability is so that areas of difficulty can be identified, and *then* interventions can be determined by the entire team. It is absolutely positively *NOT* your responsibility to come up with- interventions (though certainly your input is needed since you know your son better than anyone at the school), and it sure as heck is not your responsibility to present "research" to back up your requests. That's just about one of the most ridiculous requests I've ever heard from a SD. If they make that request again, request to see the written school policy and the section of IDEA that requires parents to provide research to SDs (it doesn't exist). I think you need to get in touch with an advocate ASAP. It can only help to have someone with you who is aware of sped law and requirements, so the SD doesn't have the opportunity to send you on wild goose chases. I would also request, in writing, certified letter, that a functional behavioral analysis be performed on your son. It sounds like his teacher has gotten into an adversarial mindset with him - utterly counterproductive. An FBA will identify behaviors, triggers, and then the team will need to come up with- strategies to manage behaviors and document them in a behavior management (or intervention - different terminology in different states) plan. *That's* where your input will really be essential. I'd also check out [url]http://www.ncpublicschools.org/positivebehavior/[/url] Again, I think you need to find an advocate to help you maneuver thru this process. While you certainly can do it on your own, you need to be familiar enough with- the laws to know when the SD is just yanking your chain. You can start reading up on the procedures/rules here [url]http://www.wrightslaw.com/idea/law.htm[/url] Hang in there, keep your cool, and take it one step at a time. [/QUOTE]
