 Glad to hear that at least you got an evaluation. They showed up with ours
on the day that the OCR called. They are trying to place David in basically a
day care 20 miles east. (but no, they are not pre-determining placement, are
they...)

If they are trying to place David in a school that is not the "home" (home is

pre-determining at least as far as I can tell.

assistant: I am not sure I can fully answer that question.  In short it directs the
teacher to assist the child in problem areas if the child needs to sit in
front of the class in order to better pay attation (sp) then the teacher is
to make sure that is were the child sits.  If the homework is written down
the teacher makes sure that it is correctly written as to what is expected.
I may be off on this but if you were to ask "All" someone in this echo should
be able to give a better discription.  Now that you brought it up I am going
to pull out my books on ADD and look it up tomarrow as if I was to turn on
all the lights looking for it it will wake everyone up.

 Educational accomodation plan. When a child is suspect of having problems
(physical or mental) there is an evaluation process and then a placement. You
can have a 504 written and the child not be considered special education
(commonly referred to as SPED). Some school systems use checklists where the
action to be taken is listed and they check it off;
 sits close to the teacher or blackboard
 has instructions repeated to him or her once again after the class has been
informed
 a behavior management plan will be developed between home and school
 Things of that nature. Properly implemented (seldom done) they can be a
great asset.

assistant: Yes, being harassed by older kids would trigger David's reactions. David
would get into trouble and the other children would not.
 It is run by a local psych facility that has residence and a day school.
They will not give our doctor priveledges yet but will work with him on
David's behavior.

witnessed the start and both of them were given detention.

assistant: Well, my husband & I attended a meeting with Lisa's school psychologist
this morning.  He told us that Lisa's problems are wide and vast.  He
gave us a very gloom and doom scenario about Lisa's life and future, at
least from my standpoint.  He said that because she has had brain
trauma, that she has brain cells that have been destroyed.  This causes
her to act irrationally, not plan things out, and basically get out of
control.  He told us that Lisa cannot get much beyond this stuff.  I
just plain disagree.  I have seen Lisa learn to think things out
(planning).  Sure, she's way below most other kids her age, but she's
also been through hell and back during her less than 13 years.  He also
accused her natural mother, my husband's ex-wife of abusing drugs and
alcohol during the pregnancy.  Well, both my husband and I went to her
defense, which felt real weird, and told him that the people she was
living with during the pregnancy would not have encouraged or even
allowed any drug or alcohol abuse.  Lisa was SEVERELY abused by her
step-father.  He treated both of my husband's kids terrible.  He really
resented the fact that they were even alive.  Well, I would still love
to see a checklist on ADD/ADHD.  I would like to be able to help my
husband if aI am able.

 What does Josh have as a reason ??
 To resolve our OCR they are going to re-write everything dealing with 504
procedures. When OCR approves it the rest of the state has to come into
compliance. We consider this a victory.
 Still going after the principle. You should see the evidence we have against
her non-compliance of ANYTHING concerning David. I will send a copy of the
complaint (word perfect format) when it is finished.

that did say it.
 Very rarely were both children suspended here. It is a county rule that when

 It is not the school that she is having a problem with...it is the fact
 that she doesn't have any insurance for her daughter so the doctors have
 decided that she will not be put on any medication...but until they found
 out that she was not insured, they had suggested medication..Amanda (my
 granddaughter) is very hyper..and she talks 25 hours of every day...:)
 The school has her in a special class and gives her the extra attention
 that she requires, at least so far..she is only in kindergarden..but by
 the fact that the doctors have decided she does not need medication, the
 school is not sure how severe her ADD is...but I will tell her to contact
 the State Ed. Department...thank you...
