Did your son have a Functional Behavior Assessment done? And was a Behavior Intervention Plan put into his IEP? I would have to agree with Debi, if no improvement was made at school and only at your cost of education your child then it was not Free.

The problem lies with the lack of the ability of local doctors to test. I know first hand that doctors will tell you it's "probably swine flu." My family tested positive for Flu A and the doctor said it was H1N1 because seasonal flu hasn't hit yet...

Let's see, would those notes do any good? There are parents that regularly send their child to school when they know they are sick because they either 1-don't want to deal with them or 2-can't afford to take the time off to care for them. Parents ...

I totally agree with you. With the block scheduling in the high schools, a students misses one day and it is like the student missed 2 days. If a student is out 3 days, it is like the student missed 6 days on a regular high school schedule without...
