[quote=Anonymous]Going through this right now.   Per the previous poster, the school has an obligation to help. They cannot just ignore this.  Your child may need some accommodations that the school can provide.  Please request a preliminary IEP meeting to request testing from the RTSE and your school principal (RTSE = special education department head) at your school).  Based on the results, your child might qualify for an IEP.  I requested testing in 5th grade because I started to see signs of school refusal.  He has pretty extreme social anxiety.  Staying at home won't help him, but I also cannot do this on my own.  His school primarily works with us to help find ways to adjust his schedule.  He also has other accommodations and goals, but we are working on a full day now (with mixed results).  You also can ask to work with your child's counselor for a partial day schedule - and if needed, interim instruction services (home/hospital).  Best wishes OP - I know how hard this is.  [/quote]
