OT - special education problems

[Guest guest]

Hello listmates,

my son is going to be 5 years old in a week. For last 2 years he was

receiving 6 hours of home program (ABA) funded by the Regional

Center for developmentally disabled, and 4 hours of home program

funded by the school district. The Regional center wants to stop his

services because he is turning 5. I feel that he really needs the

home program. Could you give me advice what to do? I do not know

what my rights are. Should I ask the school district to increase the

services? I asked already but it seems they are not going to talk to

me until I come with an attorney. Is there any way to ask the

Regional center to keep the services? What should I tell them?

Thank you

Margaret
