[quote=Anonymous]Oh - I'm so sorry to hear how upset your daughter and you must be! It's a tough spot for sure.

I believe that your daughter can say that she does not agree with the IEP team's decision and can ask for an Independent Educational Evaluation. Here is a link on Wrightslaw: http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/test.iee.steedman.htm

Do you have any private doctors or therapists that the child has been seeing? Do they have written reports that they can provide that demonstrate the child's continuing need? These need to be submitted to the school ASAP. If your child has a diagnosis from a doctor, please submit that documentation as well.

Make sure that all requests submitted to the school are in writing (email is fine).

Your daughter has to educate herself on her child's rights and how to work the system to her child's advantage. I hate phrasing it like that, but the cards are stacked against you. So you really have to know what you are doing when faced with the school pulling the rug out from under you.

This happens to families all over the country. When my child was first diagnosed with autism, I read the Wrights Law book from cover to cover: From Emotions to Advocacy. Many on this forum have read this as a starting point... and constant reference that I go back to!

Good luck![/quote]
