section 504 of the Voc Rehab act. The consultant can provide you with a

son has conduct disorder..he is too smart for sped. She also said he could keep
stealing from the school, he also found porn on the school property and they let
him keep it, he hits at school. even left school property and they tried to lie
and say he didnt leave the property and finished the day at school and then they
saw I checked him out early ..It is a night mare fo me.

his needs.

for help in the state of pa? , when after a child turns 14 you can not force
them to see medical help or counseling for there behavior problems , I think
this is pretty bad, when all we want to do is keep them from ending up in the
prizon system and make the right desitions for there selfs and respect others. I
aim pulling my hair out , please if anyone can help with sugestions.I believe
that untill a child is 18 we as parents should have the say in getting them
treatment. I aim tempted to contact the state reprasentative.
