[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 7238, member: 1169"] Hi Martie, There is a school in our coop that I think would meet her needs. The Special Education director is "very concerned about so restrictive a placement". Um, yes it is in the neighboring town but she already has friends in that school both in the Special Education program and the regular ed program. Her best friend lives over an hour away, this is not a child who defines her friends by who lives on her block. And don't we think that 21 days in a psychiatric hospital (plus 5 more in the outpatient day program is a bit restrictive????) I know what they SHOULD provide but I also know the dismal stats on parents winning their cases in Illinios, especially without an attorney. So far, I am getting an "escorted visit" to the Special Education room on Monday and the IEP will be on Thursday. I'm hoping they agree to placement in which case I will take Kanga to the new school for a visit 8-8:30am on Friday and get her to the outpatient program an hour late that day. Overall we have great schools and staff but they are so narrow-mined that mainstream is best. [/QUOTE]
