[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 720245, member: 1550"] I had to fight this insanity too. I called the states Dept. Of Public Education and was given the name of a free advocate who really helped me. I also took my son to a neuro psychologist and brought all the diagnostic stuff to school. With a diagnosis of autism, the school had no choice but to give him services. Teachers can not diagnose what is and isnt typical behavior. That is not their field. Our school district seemed intimidated by this advocate who knew the law and brought at least one district to court, winning at no cost to the people she went to bat for. I never had trouble again. The school treated both my kids very well after that. I guess i scared them. I didnt care as long as my son got his services. You can hire a lawyer if you can afford one, but I didnt have to and I could never have afforded one. The private evaluation, which was covered by our insurance, not paid for or affiliated by school, made my case. Autism is a recognized disability requiring intervention. My son is doing great. I wish you the best of luck. It is not fun to deal with schools. Usually they want to pay as little and do as little fof our kids as possible. Be strong. [/QUOTE]
