[QUOTE="Star*, post: 9208, member: 4964"] Coleen, HI and welcome. There are a lot of things (besides eating Rolaids) that you can do for your child and his education. In this case it sounds like you are headed for warrior mom status and will have to educate school on the pro's of the IDEA law, which I would highly recommend YOU yourself read over, IEP's (indivual education plans), and the like. Each situation is different and most start with a diagnoses from a physician, psychologist, and psychologist. If you have that already you're ahead of the game. There is a special education reference section here at the Conduct Disorders board that you can research and get LOADS and LOADS of information from. Once you find what you need to arm yourself when you hit a wall, post a question and one of the resident experts on sp. education and law/reform will most certainly post to help you or PM you or email you. This situation is FAR from hopeless and NOT worth upsetting yourself further. Ten years ago, as a woman who left an abusive marriage and struck out on her own with a child who's behavior was off the charts I thought I had most of my problems whipped. I enrolled my son in a new school that had NO CLUE about how to deal with a child who had behavior disorders. I lost a job (ten years ago mind you) making $40,000.00 to start. Due to the SCHOOL! I didn't even get an apology. I came home, sat down and cried, got it out of my system and then started doing research. I didn't have a computer then, but found advocacy groups and evenutally made my way here to a wealth of information. This place works if you allow yourself to be helped and follow good advice. Others will be along soon, so check your post often. Hang tough - you've found a soft place to land. Hugs & Welcome Star [/QUOTE]
