[quote=Anonymous]I'm really sorry, OP, that you're going through this.  I can imagine how difficult it was treating your DD's concussion and the challenge with the school just compounds the anguish and stress.  I agree with the PP (the VA principal) that this really does sound like an excellent time to bring in an advocate/consultant.  As a non-education professional, it can be very difficult for you to know not just what's reasonable but all the things the school CAN do for your DD.  It's also very easy for the school staff (unfortunately) to dismiss you because you lack credibility.  THEY are the education experts, not you.  It's not cheap but having a good advocate/consultant to keep your DD's best interests at heart can really buy you some piece of mind as well as ensure your DD gets what's best for her.  Even though school staff say they don't take resources into account when making decisions, they do.  There are also 'unwritten' limits on the types of services/accomodations your DC can receive.  In a case like this one, I think it's really best to have someone who has expertise in this area.

We're in VA so I can't recommend anyone for you but there have been a number of posts regarding this.  You can search the archives or someone may post a recommendation here.  Best of luck to you.[/quote]
