[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 398924"] Thanks for the questions and support. I will answer them the best I can. DDD - the IEP is based on a comprehensive evaluation the school did. difficult child is in 7th grade. I am conmvinced difficult child is somewhere on the spectrum but it has never been diagnosed. That is my hope when we see the new psychiatrist next week. I see it so clearly but the school refuses to consider it unless a psychiatrist puts it in writing for them. He is in regular classes without supports except for 2 classes. He is in a resource room for those. The meetings are simply for a TEAM to decide on disciplinary actions for behavior on a case by case basis. It was something I insisted on because of the principal's predisposition to suspend difficult child for everything. So far, that is not working out as I'd intended. I am just holding on until the appointment next week and waiting every day for the phone to ring for another "problem". LDM - difficult child has never had an OFFICIAL diagnosis of ODD. It was merely mentioned as a possibility in an evaluation done by the school. The diagnoses with question marks listed in my sig are UNOFFICIAL things that have been mentioned by various professionals, and I use that term loosely in this case. That is why we are seeing a psychiatrist for the first time in 6 years now that there is one available within a 60 mile radius of my home. The therapist did not recommend this psychiatrist, she wasn't even aware that there was a new one in the area. I believe there are no more than 4 other kids in the resource room for the one class and I know there is only 1 other student in the other. I am making appointments with many different "specialists" to get a comprehensive evaluation. There is no neuropsychologist within 200 miles of my home so this is the best I can do. I have notified the school of the upcoming evaluations but they are convinced I am "on a fishing expedition because I refuse to deal with difficult child the way they think I should". I am hoping the evaluations show what I have been trying to tell them for the last 2 years. I would love to prove them totally wrong. Thanks again for the suggestions. I will keep you posted as things progress. [/QUOTE]
