    Hello Everyone, I thought I should give you some update …

    Eric – Sent an email to my local MPP and requested to meet with him as well. Looking forward to hearing from him next week.

    Bonnie – Sent an email to community living ontario’s Special Education appeal board. I really hope they’ll offer some help.

    Karyn – I sent an email to Toronto Family Network as well and they replied back saying that they might not be able to help in this matter.

    Thanks,
    Afreen

    Hi Bonnie,

    I looked into the web site. In the Special Education section of Administrative Justice Support Network and it says –


    Examples of situations in which the tribunal is unlikely to help:
    parents want to force the board to give intensive behaviour intervention (IBI) for a student.
    parents are OK with a placement or an IEP, but disagree with how it is being carried out by a teacher or staff member


    Should I still send an email…

    Thanks,
    Afreen

    Thank you all so much for the information.

    Sarah — I’m in North part of Etobicoke and would love to be connected with any parent groups around Etobicoke, North York.

    Eric — I looked up my local MPPs. Etobicoke North- Shafiq Qaadri, Etobicoke Centre-Donna Cansfield. Should I just call up and address my situation… I mean would my situation be important enough for them to consider? Sorry if I am asking dumb questions.

    Don Murray — Since last two weeks I have been doing some research as well and got the same information from Contact Niagara website. I was thinking that may be I should prepare a letter or an appeal to support my son’s case instead of only filling out the IRM request form. I wasn’t sure what exactly needed to be done but I would never have imagined that issues like this needs to be escalated to a government level. It is unfortunate.

    Karyn — I will send an email to Toronto Family Network tonight.

    I really appreciate all of your feedback. I felt lost and hopeless past few days. But after reading your posts I am feeling optimistic. Thank you!
