[QUOTE="keista, post: 464611, member: 11965"] A thought occurred to me - Is the administration ever invited to the IEP team meetings? If not, maybe extend an invite. It's one of those "DUH" type of things, but "we" assume that the administration is aware of our kids' IEP's, BIP's, 504s, whatever. And they probably are, but just vaguely. I've been thinking back on meetings regarding both son and DD1 and all the times, BEFORE administration was present at a meeting they were rather adversarial. AFTER a meeting, not so much. They still come at "problems" in a strictly disciplinarian approach, but after learning about the child's issues, through even one meeting, they actually SEE some of the details and problems of the issues and SEE exactly how their staff handles things on an ongoing basis. If this principal has never been to any team meeting, you might want to consider extending an invitation. I did this instinctually for DD1's last meeting. The principal still doesn't "get it" but is a bit closer to understanding that DD1 truly does not CHOOSE to misbehave when she does. Trying to try to get your principal to "get it" through such a meeting might be worth the effort especially since it sounds as if these suspensions actually set your difficult child [B]backwards[/B].
