[QUOTE="Martie, post: 274773, member: 284"] Hi, A portion of Federal legislation protects children such as your son. Write a letter to the Director of Special Education (or superintendent in small SD) stating that you son is a child who is probably in need of special education and you are putting the SD on notice of this. They already know this, but you need to start building a paper trail to subsequently get what your son needs. Here is the link to this discussion in the Archives of Sp Ed 101: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=733[/url] Meet with the psychiatrist and then formally request a full case study evaluation for which there is a 60 calendar day time limit and summers count except in very small SD that close down the whole show in the summer. If the administrative offices are open, the day counts. Send BOTH of these communications by CERTIFIED mail. Then start a very good filing system if you don't already have one. Keeping track of all communications is very important. I agree that it is important to keep the teacher and principal on your side.
