[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 131980, member: 23"] The transition from elementary to middle school is tough on our kids -- especially those with ADHD. Sometimes the behaviors may appear as "willfulness," but many times that's not actually the case. I recommend that you have him evaluated by the school district for an IEP. It's extremely important to send the letter via Certified Mail. There's a "Getting Started" thread in the archives. While some areas of Section 504 are similar to IDEA/IEP, there are vast differences also. If you're not intimately acquainted with IDEA, you will need to learn about your's and your son's educational rights in order to effectively advocate for him. I recommend you get you letter in the mail (no verbal request), do some reading in the Sp Ed Archives, then post additional questions if you have them. Info I consider important for all ADHDer's parents: Summary of a Barkley seminar on ADHD - [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20061230090127/http://www.schwablearning.org/pdfs/2200_7-barktran.pdf?date=11-14-00[/url] Demands of academics increase as children advance through school - [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/demands-of-academics-increase-as-children-advance-through-school.434/[/url] Welcome to the site!
