[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 237186"] The problem I am running up against is that the school is telling me that they can not evaluate him for a IEP because he has missed so much school and he needs to be there. When I talked to the school social worker (who by the way is the only one so far that I have talked to who agrees that he needs something) she suggested we do it this way because that way we can get him some accommodations immediately. I am really hoping that the letter from psychiatrist will help, here is what he said: [I]difficult child has had multiple admissions to ___________ Hospital as well as __________. We continue to work diligently in trying to stabilize his mood disorder and anxiety disorder. The primary stressor in difficult child's life are the current school issues within the Clark County School System. He feels ostracized and alienated at school leading to increased agitation, anxiety, thoughts of self harm, mood instability and paranoia. These psychiatric symptoms then lead to school avoidance and school refusal which sets up a vicious cycle with exacerbation of Axis I psychiatric disorders. He is in need of a comprehensive reassessment and IEP with intensive interventions in the school to maintain difficult child in the school. He may need small classrooms, one-to-one intervention, ability to use a pass when anxious and the full cooperation of the school to help difficult child in getting to school and staying in school during the days he is attending. I am greatly concerned that his school avoidance has led to a very maladaptive pattern of school behaviors and there is a need to implement an intervention to maintain difficult child in the school without his ability to act out and return home as well as the ability to get difficult child to school in the a.m. [/I] [/QUOTE]
