Oh my!


I am so sorry you find yourself in this situation. Please refresh my memory: Does Jeremy have an IEP or any other accomodations? Have you requested any accomodations for him?

Oh no! I am so sorry. I would post a message for Steph on the Special Ed board (http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppiep) to see how you could go about getting an IEP in place instead of getting your DS suspended/expelled from the school. Do you have an official diagnosis from a medical professional? I agree with Paula that having him expelled from school would be against IDEA.

I would put everything in writing to the school. Ask them to evaluate your son as you are concerned about his educational performance (education includes behavioral, social, adaptive skills as well as academic). If your relationship with the school is acrimonious, I would also recommend for you to get an advocate or a lawyer. The situation seems so awful. {{{hugs}}}
