The school has a speech therapist.  My daughter has a language disability and takes speech therapy at school.  It is free of charge and they are trained professionals that can help you.  The school must test and provide this to you under the "no child left behind act".  Don't let this bother you.  No 2 people are the same.  We all talk different, look different and learn different.  The people that treat you as if you are of lower intelligence ..well lets just say that is there disability.  Stand up for yourself and show them what you know when they try to give you extra help.  Show them you are not afraid and how smart you are.

My heart goes out to you and, I must say I am surprised by the lack of support you got from the school. I certainly wouldn't let this matter drop - ask for another appointment with the Head and tell them your grave concerns; then, if nothing happens, contact the Local Authority and speak to the Attendance Officer.\n(All these unauthorised absences are not going to cast a very favourable light on the school!)\nFinally please don't give up on the idea of custordy - speak to Social Services (it would help if you had an accurate log of absences and lateness - this the school is obliged to give you) to see if they can support your claim for this child.\nGood luck.

I am sorry to hear about your child, however i would suggest that your lawyer should be finding the expert witnesses in any case such as this, and if he is unable to do so then i think it best that you find a lawyer who can - this is what you are paying your lawyer for ( or what they are taking there possible fee for) and if they are unable to do this then i would be very suspect about there ability to try the case to a successful outcome. \n\nGood luck

I would seek help from your administration. Perhaps a meeting with your administrator is needed. Usually, students follow their parents lead. \n\nMost importantly, don't take it personally. One bad apple shouldn't make you get down on yourself. You are so valuable to our children's future so please don't let it get you down.

Have you resquseted an evaluation and IEP from the school in writing?  Below is a webpage full of websites and a website I reccommend.  You need to get the free book offerred by Protection and Advocacy entitled "Special Education, Rights and Responsibilities"  This book will show you how to navagate the school district with ease.  \n\nIt appears that you do not understand the system. The school seems as if it has given you mis information.  Has your son been evaluated?  He is entitled (by federal and state law) to be evaluated and by law if he needs help the school HAS TO EVALUATE HIM FOR FREE.  \n\nThe school is mandated by federal law to pay for the child to attend special education for free.  The parents do not have to pay at all.  However, just because he needs help, he does not need to go to a special school, (by law) the school district has to place in the school closest to his home.  \n\nMost public school have special education classes.  Don't give your blanket of trust to the school just because they are the school.  Many school district have been sued BIG TIME because because they failed giving a child the lawful evaluation, placement and services that the law MANDATES.  Do not back down from the school, they are know to bully parents and students alike.  If you need more information on this matter contact me.  \n\nI am an advocate for children with special needs and I specialize in special education.  The child is suffering because the school district is not providing the services mandated by law that the child needs.  They have to provide this to the child FOR FREE, but they don't tell you that.  \n\nYou need to read this book.  I know for sure that California's version includes all of the state and federal laws for California, however the difference is that the California's version has California's state laws, but the federal laws remain teh same.  It is written in plain and simple terms and will address all of your questions, that is how it's designed.  Good Luck!

Both the teacher and the OT are at fault.  The teacher should know the schedule for your step daughter, and the OT should come down and get her, if she has not been sent down at the correct time.  If it was a one, maybe two time thing I could understand, but ALL YEAR?  That is just wrong and something needs to be done!  IEP's MUST be followed by LAW!  There should be a director of special services or special eduacation for your school district.  I would go straight to them to avoid the run around.  I hope things work out for you and your step daughter.

you probably need to contact a legal service in your area or post your question in the teaching section.\nthis is the homeschool section and we pretty much have job security seeing as how most of us are married to the principal!!!\n:)

call the school psychologist, or the district psychologist. they have a certain amount of days to respond, and provide testing once the request is made...you might have to fill out a request for testing form...make copies of everything you give out. do some research for your state/county on what the laws are regarding educational testing. document any/all phone calls and follow up verbal requests with written requests. don't forget to also call the school superintendent if you need to. i've worked in spec. ed for many years, and raised a special needs child...i've literally had to take the district to court (several times) for failing to provide my son with the educational assistance/tools that were written into his i.e.p. (individualized educational plan). there are also advocacy groups, and parent coordinators through the mental health system, in most counties.\nin my experience, school districts can be very non-parent friendly. you may come up against officials who say there is no money for testing your child, etc...they are not above trying to make a parent feel guilty either...don't buy into it. nobody cares about your child like you do, and if you don't push the issue, your child will not get the help he is entitled to.  i hope this was helpful...very best of luck to you. you can also go to dr.phil's website to get more ld, a.d.d., adhd, dyslexia, etc. info from dr. frank lawless.

ASK your lawyer as he is the only one who knows!

netboy12121, very well put from the students perspective. Very seldom do we see this.  I do work with special needs and individuals with disabilities, and we do try to impliment a normal or close to normal class room atmospher. Educators from k-12 up into the college levels are basically lazy when they have to work with people with special needs.  But guess what? its the law, they must accomidate all students.\n  Check wth your local scholl system and find out who is incharge of their special needs program.  Tell them you want an IEP (individual education program) for your child. By law they must provide this service for you.  If you are unable to find a school or services the meet your needs, contact your local Health and Human Social Service Department. They'll give you all types of information and contacts.  You may also check into your states local DVR (Department of vocational Rehabilitaion) service. Unfortunately there is usally a waiting list for their services, but get on it.  Hope I was able to help.

I think you are talking about due process hearings.  If you are not in agreement with the IEP you can call a meeting.  If you can't resolve your meeting you can either go to mediation or go directly to due process.  Once due process is called the district has 10 days to respond.  A hearing officer then listens to witnesses to determine a decision.  Decisions can be appealed by both school and/or family.  I believe legal costs are paid by the school district no matter what the outcome.\n\nDoes that help?
