IEP/504 Behavioral Plan for 7th Grader-Services Not Delivered for 2 School Years Now

So, we’ve had legal guardianship of our 7th grader for 2 school years now. He came to us from a level 3 placement in a group home which is one level below a prtf placement (secure). We had major issues transitioning him to the local mental health system and getting services in place through the school for his 504-behavior plan. We had to call the school board to even get the school to reopen it.He was supposed to be placed in day treatment but was unable to be placed in day treatment initially because of Medicaid issues. It took nearly 2 years to get Medicaid fixed and transitioned to our locale. We finally got that taken care of and took it upon ourselves to get his evaluation done because it’s now nearing the end of the year and we know the school will drag their feet in completing an internal evaluation.So, for 2 full school years now he has NOT gotten day treatment or any of the other services he was supposed to get and his grades are suffering. His evaluation indicates that he is suffering from PTSD, bipolar disorder in partial remission, conduct disorder, sleep disorder, and gender dysphoria. (He identifies as a different gender at random or sexual orientation at random and was molested prior to going to a group home and while at the group home.) So, I’ve done the IEP thing before and the 504 behavior plans with other kids. It has NEVER been this difficult. I am afraid they are just going to pass him along to the next grade without addressing his academic issues. He’s functioning at 4th grade level in math and can’t keep up consistently.I’ve never gotten this far without having things addressed. Has anyone had to do anything else to get the necessary services for a child in school. His psychiatrist feels an IEP would be more appropriate considering the effects severe trauma has had on his brain and his significant issues with math and his issues with story recall. (He often has trouble relating events correctly. His reality is not always consistent with everyone else, obviously not to the point of delusion, but to the point it affects his life.)What’s the next step?Does anyone have any ideas?Edited to format for reading ease. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2p2wY8d
