[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 721576, member: 13303"] You say your child already has an IEP in place. Were you trying to modify the IEP in some way? Just wondered what brought you back to the table. Was his meeting scheduled for this early in the year (it does happen sometimes)? What may or may not happen when your son is 8 years old doesn't matter now and in my opinion, they shouldn't be speculating. Children's needs change dramatically in a brief period of time at this age. If he needs more support as you suspect, that will become obvious in the coming weeks and months. It might be possible that the structure provided by the school day helps your son maintain appropriate behavior there, whereas he melted down over the summer without that support. I would second the advice you've gotten to secure the services of an advocate and fight for what you think your child needs. In the meantime, you might want to ask for a referral to a developmental pediatrician to rule autism spectrum disorders in or out. Your son's regular pediatrician is a good place to ask for such a referral. [/QUOTE]
