I can totally relate to your frustrations. I have had the need to hire an attorney....the response was amazing! Sadly that was the only way to get the school district's attention! My son has had a Bii for three years, alomg with other sevices, however, the classroom setting this year was was awful, overcroweded, and many other factors that were causing him anxiety. He will be attending a NPS in August, we are in the process of deciding which one. Financially, we are not in the position to seek legal assistance, but we managed.its all worth it. Hope this helps. Good Luck! =)

Thank you for your support. We feel very alone in this struggle. He doesn't even fit in at church. He ran away on Saturday and we couldn't find him for 3 hours. He knew if he came home he would have to do his chores and he wouldn't get to ride his long board until They were done. Once I found him he refused to come home. I threatened to have his dad come get him and he hid from us. When he finally resurfaced he could not understand why we were upset. His anxiety started rise so, we made a compromise and said he had to do his chores before he could go anywhere. He completed his tasks and invited himself to a swimming party. After talking with the mom that was driving she said he could go but, the other kids didn't like the idea. After the Swim party he came home and said he had lot of fun. I guess I just need to go with the flow. Thanks for all your support.

I know parents who have had to go this route. I haven't personally but I think you are doing the right thing. You are the only person looking out for your son. School systems have to lookout for the bottom line. They have rules to follow and you need to make sure they are following them no matter what the cost. Your child deserves the best education he can get and that won't happen the way you describe his current placement.

This helps a lot. Especially with my anxiety. I think the thing that is the hardest for me is that I don't know if I am doing the right thing for.my son. He does not recognize he is being bullied or teased. He looks and acts like all the other children. He is smart and is always among the low scores.in the class which is very good for a.boy with multiple disabilities.If We could get him in a small class or cluster I think he would do very well. He is on intunive for ADHD but it is not very effective. He did well on concerta until it woke up his tourettes. Which We recently found out runs in his birth family. Now he struggles horribly with attention deficit which his birth parents struggled with as well. It seems to the naked eye that he has not been taught proper behavior and manners. No one can tell he has any disabilities. Except his parents and his doctors. This is very frustrating for me so I appreciate your insights. Thank you.
