[QUOTE="cfa3, post: 493991, member: 6817"] Yes Buddy, he is in a program and school where he would NEVER get kicked out, I have a relationship and am known as a tough cookie in our district here, but nice so even though they dont provide what he needs, they get that he is suffering and they dont punish him. I am a parent resource specialist myself for a non profit disability organization so luckily I have some good background on sped law etc and yes absolutely the law states a program must fit to the child not the other way around so I always try and think in those terms: what does HE need to benefit from education? Its hard because then I have to come up with the whole plan by myself because the district has no mental health stuff. They do OK with autism because thats the most popular, but EBD/mental health they are clueless. What I need is an ed consultant who specializes in thinkikng of programs that can be created or curriculums/interventions they can apply but I cannot afford such a person.
