I am homeschooling ds as of last few months. We have had him in special needs schools paid for by our district (which have not worked out for ds), and are now looking into private, non-funded programming which we would have to sue DOE for reimbursement. If all that does not work out, we will continue to homeschool, with home services such as OT and speech paid for by DOE.
By the way, under IDEA they cannot only afford assistanxe for children that are struggling academically at all, there are other considerations such as social issues and classroom modifications, OT for sensory, etc. You might want to consider getting an advocate to work with you, if this school district thinks that way, which is to say, they would therefore be denying your son accomosations he is due by law, where there is a need,,,

LOL, I have to go other because you missed what my kids have.
The reason I stipulate is because my kids aren't in a resource room placement. Thiers is considered one step more restrictive. You had resource with mainstreaming then self contained class with some exposure to mainstream kids. My kids are in a self contained class with mainstreaming/inclusion with Aide.
Cait is "Full inclusion special day class" with an aide to her inclusion classes and the special ed teachers support to the inclusion classes, etc.
Mike is in a self contained special education class as his home class and mainstreamed out from there for about 1/2 his day. He has a 1:1 aide for the entire day (mainstream, self contained, recess, etc)
