[quote=Anonymous]If you get an advocate, they will take your concerns way more seriously. I've BTDT.

First, as a child with a suspected disability, he does have special protections. I would use the phrase "suspected disability" in all written communication with the school.

Second, I know that kids with IEPs cannot be removed via suspensions or sent home for more than 10 total days w/o triggering a mandatory meeting to determine, among other things, if the child is in an appropriate educational setting. So please keep track of how many days your child has been suspended and whether these are directly related to the suspected disability.

third, you cannot get a change of placement simply bc you have heard that the sped staff at this school is not good. I know that sucks, but that is your reality. The child's needs determine placement. And if the home school is deemed as what he needs, then he will remain at the home school with an IEP if he is found eligible. If you want him to attend the school across town bc of staff you have heard is better, then you will have to move. [/quote]
