Hi,
I have requested an IEP evaluation. for my grandson (I have custody). I am wondering about the discipline at school. My grand has some pretty rocking ADHD and is currently unmedicated due to health issues. (increased heart rate-and other things)
He has zero impulse control. I am concerned that he will be diciplined for not listening or what ever when he really can't sit still. The school gave us some leway on this, the last month. But over spring break it was decided that he will not be back on medications before school is out for summer. At this point we don't know if he will ever be able to take the medications.
Does anyone address discipline in an IEP? It's not his fault that he is having these medical issues and I don't want him broken down by behavior expectations that are unrealistic at this point. On the other hand he does need to learn to behave in society.
Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas?
Thanks, Garrison
