Thank you to all that answered my original question with such conviction and support. Yes, being a parent of a child with special needs is frustrating. Especially when dealing w/ people who think their making a difference, but there are no significant changes for the past 4 years and their followers don't help try to find a solution. They just defend their position.
I do not expect any teacher or special ed instructor to understand as they are brain washed in thinking they have the answers to everything.
I do want to note that if I did not dot all my I's and cross all my T's, I would not have needed to use YA for assistance. So PLEASE, work with me not against me. I'm working for my child, not for who's right or wrong.
This process has been an ongoing problem for over 7 years. If the answer was that cut and dry, the district would have been able to help push him to close the gap instead of allowing it to widen.
My son's Advocate is the top Advocate in Southern Cali. He also has one of the top attorney's in the area. With all this support, the school district is still able to convince the courts and everyone else they have the answer to every child's problem and that the child is receiving "ADEQUATE" assistance. (Hence the word adequate. This is a word they use loosely)
My child has received a full evaluation and does qualify for services as a child with a disability? He does have a current IEP in force? He is currently receiving special education services. He does not have a degree of autism and he has been formally diagnosed by the school system and doctors.
I have and continue to voice my concerns. With each change in the goals and objectives, the gap keeps widening and the child continues to struggle.
l use the Parent Resource Center religiously, but it offers limited information. Not every resource center is created equal.
I understand that when a district is unable to assist a child, they are to offer the child a transfer to a school that can assist them, (even if it is a non-public school), (Home-schooling is not an option).
How do you convince them to do this when they out-right refuse?
Where do you find funding to send a child to an educational therapy school?
Once again, if your going to be negative, do not respond.
Thank you for your help.
