[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 305138, member: 3444"] Does he have a 504 Plan or an IEP in place at school? He will certainly need more supports than the typical student and these "agreement" documents will help ensure that he gets what he needs. It can take a long time and several medication trials to finally find the right combination that addresses most of the symptoms. Even then, your child might need therapy, social skills training, or some other kind of psycho/social support. Until you know just where his deficits lie and what the cause is, it will be much harder developing a plan for how to help. MWM's advice for the neuropsychologist evaluation is a good way to identify just what's going on. Most medical insurance plans cover this type of assessment. You can also request that the school conduct an evaluation if that has not already been done. While their tests will most likely NOT be as comprehensive as a private evaluator's, it will at least get their attention and involvement in identifying where your son needs help. Good luck! It takes time, but you can get there. [/QUOTE]
