WOW.
THank you Sheila! I was able to get my meeting rescheduled. I sent my letter via Fax and had them sign and return it to me. They agreed to reschedule. Thank you for the advice on "redirecting" LOL
Now, other advice: I am sure the study team, specifically the teacher and principle, will focus on my son's "threatening" letter. He's 9 and what he wrote, while was concerning, I do not believe he would, or could carry it out (he's too scary for such actions). However, I am sure they will alude to him being psychotic; they've done so in the past by calling him paranoid and being delusional--everything is in "his" mind. Any suggestions on how I should approach this IEP evaluation meeting?
One of my issues is how he is relentlessly teased and bullied. I feel that the teachers also ignore him and his emotional responses and do not know how to cope with is ODD/Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) (the ADHD is handled by the medications). What can/should I do to get this across and stand my ground? What is the school responsible for providing my ODD/ADHD/Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) child? I have no one to bring with me; I feel like a sheep amongst wolves!
Any input is appreciated!
