[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 108705, member: 47"] In Ca, ADHD alone doesn't qualify you for any services, and ODD is really not recognized as a diagnosis. To get any help you will have to have the label of ED - emotional disturbance. And you will need to get a qualified diagnosis. Did you ask for an IEP ? And why would you want a 504 plan because really, it has no teeth to it - he may need to be under IDEA. I have so been there done that with my youngest - you will find more and more suspensions comming your way with his behavior as he gets older - at least with a proper IEP it can address behavior issues. I hate to even say this, but the schools are NOT your friends - they will not go out of their way to provide all of the services which may be needed, nor will they tell you all of the services which may be provided. They will do enough to lull you into a false sense of them doing the most they can, because to do otherwise may cost them money. They bank on you NOT knowing what you are and are not qualified for. I don't know if you are in No Ca or So, but there is a place called T.A.S.K in Orange County that I found to be a wonderful place as far as school issues go. First, though, you will need to get a full diagnosis on your son. Also, I would suggest that you start on a Parent Report - how to do that is in the Archives here. Marcie [/QUOTE]
