[QUOTE="goin_crazy, post: 423944, member: 11765"] Please please listen to this people and get the testing started NOW or you will not have it in place by the time he starts Jr. High. We were in the same boat two years ago and I am kicking myself for not going ahead to a psychologist for testing. My son is 13 and just now, in the 7th grade and after failing the first sememster, got his diagnoses. I begged the school for help for two years and got nothing. I still get NO help from them. YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY REAL ADVOCATE FOR YOUR CHILD AND DON'T FORGET IT. In the long run, it doesn't matter who all you tick off at the school by disagreeing with them. I am speaking from hard-learned experience and from the heart to you. I am about to skip over the Section 504 stuff and go straight to the Special Education coordinator whom the school wouldn't even give me the name of and get something in place for next year before he gets expelled. He was passing school up until this year so they ignored me. To make it worse, he got a Commended score on the state standardized tests last year. I thought they were going to kick him out or send him to JD this week because he keeps just leaving school when he gets mad. I'm here to tell you if you don't get the school's support, and that is where a majority of his day, things WILL get worse. Don't wait. We started the testing last July and just now finished because they had to stop once because he was mad and depressed. So you don't know how it will go. Get it started now, make sure the doctor testing understands the situation, find out who your coordinator is, take the result to them and force them to make the modifications needed and then keep up every single day to make sure some teacher didn't do things their own way. That happens too. I have heard it too much. I am sorry to sound so bleak but I am at my wit's end and came here for some encouragement or direction myself and if I can help just one person, I will feel better.
