[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 726901, member: 13303"] Just to piggyback on Susie's post, in my professional life I work with many students with IEPs who have attendance issues. It's true the child cannot be expelled from school or otherwise punished for lack of attendance, but in my district parents cannot simply choose to keep their child at home. If the child's needs are so severe that they cannot attend school on a regular basis they are referred to a therapeutic school. My stepson was just placed in a therapeutic school due to his anxiety - one of the expressions of which was truancy from class. IEPs are written with attendance in mind if this is part of a child's struggle, and the appropriate help will be offered, but carte blanche to stay home is generally not something I've ever seen done if for no other reason than school attendance is compulsory. Sometimes homebound tutoring and/or online school can be offered in an IEP. The point is, there are many options to address a child's needs. Hope this all is helpful to you! [/QUOTE]
