[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 50059, member: 45"] The best way to tackle the school problem is to arm yourself with information. I am by no means an expert on the law when it comes to IEPs, FBAs, and FAPEs, but I know more than the schools do. I had to because the schools kept telling me what they couldn't do. Once I knew what they could do, and they knew I knew, it was more of a partnership and we worked together. With an IEP, you have certain protections. They can't suspend him for more than 10 days without a meeting. You can call an IEP meeting whenever you think it's necessary. They can't force you to homeschool, and if they do want that, they have to help pay for it (home tutors, etc.) Check out the Special Education forum and ask lots of questions. If you haven't read it, The Explosive Child is really a good book. I don't use everything in the book, and probably should more, but it just changed our lives because it changed the way we looked at our difficult child's behaviors. It's still really difficult, but we have a better understanding and so we handle it better. Our difficult child has changed medications many times over the years. It can be really frustrating. It took awhile to find a medication that worked, and then it seemed he outgrew it. We're trying to find the right combo again. Welcome to the board! I hope we can help you as much as this board has helped me and my family. Linda [/QUOTE]
