Knowing what I know now, trying to get the school more involved by requesting an IEP - even if she does not qualify they then cannot deny that she reached out for help. I say this because I was a registrar at a high school for three years. I was also the recording secretary on the committee that evaluated each request and decided what would be done in each case. I heard a lot of crazy things and many had nothing to do with qualifying for an IEP but that was a starting point. Tax dollars at work for YOU!
At the time I had that job my Difficult Child was young and a good boy and older sons were doing well and all was good in my life. I never DREAMED I would have to request an IEP evaluation on my son after he was expelled as I was directed by his youth probation officer. He did not qualify because he scored very high but he did get a 504 Plan for anxiety that allowed me to get him back into the district at an alternative school.
In my personal situation we were afraid to piss our son off for some reason. Hindsight is always 20/20 though. When they are minors it is SO hard!!!! When they are adults it is still SO hard!!!
