My 7 year old grandson has been diagnosed with ODD and ADHD and has had a long history of documented behaviors at school (Brockport School District), impulse control, bullying, threatening, hurting other children, stealing, etc. He has had a 504 Plan for years and is not receiving proper supports. I requested an IEP for him for pull-out therapy, a 1:1 aid during transitions and counseling. The school denied him an IEP because his ODD are only happening during transitions, specials, lunch and on the bus, while his behavior in the classroom and grades are average. In my opinion, the school is ignoring his disability and I am looking for an ODD expert who would be willing to consult on this matter as I appeal the school's decision. I am also hoping to find an attorney who has experience with dealing with ODD and the school system. Any help would be appreciated!

What can be done if there are things mentioned in my child's IEP that I do not agree with? His teacher won't change it either

The student should also have the right to call a meeting, bring people, and excuse people.

can you excuse the principal from an IEP Meeting? Also I requested the following and I was told they couldn't release anything until they checked with special education,




I also requested copies of her IEP prior to this emergency meeting and they refused to provide me copies.
The principal stated that the teacher cant communicate with me unless it goes through her first, is that the case?
