[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 85271, member: 2322"] Totoro, you've gotten great advice. I wanted to let you know something I did. I zeroxed the newsletter from the bipolar child website -- the one entitled 24/7 and gave it every one of my kids' teachers. It does a great job of dealing with the "they tend to be better behaved in school" than at home mentality. It will give them a better idea of what you are dealing with on the home front, does it in non technical language, and has a bit more authority since it doesn't come from you directly. For the moment, I wouldn't be too worried if you can't think of specifics for the IEP. My oldest is very anxious. I stressed early on in the elementary years the need for a low stress place to go, and in getting my child to have a connection with counselor or Special Education teacher. As time went on in school, we needed aides, and accomodations for his severe school refusal (we went to half days). The key is having an IEP that meets the current challenges--it can always be amended later. So don't stress too much at this point. P. [/QUOTE]
