First, have you done a Vision Statement with him and your family? That can help clear the deck and help guide your decision. Also, you need to see what your state requires as far as a regular diploma, what diploma options are available and so on. And which of those options fits with his vision for adult life? If you do want to press on with a regular diploma, there will be obstacles. Most schools see the 13th, 14th, 15th year for our kids as black and white--you either get a regular diploma and graduate after 12th, of if you need the extra years you get life skills or vocational skills. But there's NOTHING that prevents a student spending those 3 extra years pursuing a diploma, if they need more time. At least read over the vision statement stuff this weekend and think about it. I find this concept one that brings me the most clarity for my own child and clients. https://adayinourshoes.com/iep-vision-statement/
