Thanks so much! I am interested in compmom’s note about proper accommodations. Reading this, I don’t think my daughter was properly accommodated: her dad and I met with her teachers to try to figure out what she needed to do, but they didn’t send daily work or anything like that. After she got out of the hospital, she had to work overtime to catch up on everything, on top of the regular daily schoolwork. It never occurred to me to get a lawyer! Anyway, thanks to you all for your help. I will ask the guidance counselor to be sure to include it in his letter.
