[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 261139, member: 7170"] I would recommend checking with community mental health (probably county level of govt.) in your area and find out if there are any advocates available in your area to help you with this. If you end up doing this on your own you are going to want to check out [URL='http://www.wrightslaw.com']www.wrightslaw.com[/URL] they have a wealth of info at that site on IEP's IEP's aren't just about academics - anything that hinders a childs access to the curriculum can be addressed in an IEP. ADHD is specifically listed under the IDEA classification OHI (Other Health Impairment). Your son might find beneficial a BIP (behavior intervention plan) which is a part of the IEP. It sounds like things are currently under control but you might want to get an IEP to put some safe guards in place before they get out of control. Much of what you posted could be usual teen age "testing the boundaries" type behavior but a good IEP can help you avoid a possible expulsion later on. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
