I am reposting this post as it was hidden in the subboards.
"My 14 year old is considered other health impaired by his doctors and although his school recognizes that, they will not place him under IDEA (special ed). His health has not been great for several years, but in January, it took a nose dive. He has intermittent homebound services (not under IDEA or 504, but under general ed) and is pretty much on fulltime homebound. He got very far behind quickly this school year because the school would not follow the 504 plan in place. I had trouble from day one. I had to fight just to get an extra set of books for home even though his doctor had filled out the necessary forms. I even offered to pay for the books. It’s just been one battle after another. He had to drop the Spanish class because he got so far behind (I have a stack of emails requesting his work in this class, but she wouldn’t send it). He also had to drop 2 electives.
I’m not going to further bog you down with the lack of services my son’s school has provided. Could you perhaps point me into the right direction? I’m not sure how to find out if other parents are having the same problem with our school district as we are. We are in the Clear Creek ISD in League City, Texas.
Our son has Spondylitis and has chronic pain. He also has Central Sleep Apnea, but cannot take meds for this because his heart rate is high and he suffers from orthostatic intolerance. He does take meds for acid reflux, but feels nauseated much of the time. He also has OCD and full blown Tourette’s, which his psychiatrist has stated on his OHI is severe.
What ever you can help me with is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Sleigh"
