[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 140052, member: 4362"] You need to reinstate your daughter's IEP. An IEP cannot be rescinded without parental approval, and a typical IEP is in place for at least three (3) years. I think your school district is messing with you big time, especially if she's being seen by a behavioral specialist and counselor. Has the school done a full psychiatric evaluation as well as looking for deficiencies in her learning? If not, ask them to do it. And make sure you have an IEP and not a 504; the latter has less legal protections than an IEP. At a minimum, I would have your daughter evaluated by a pediatric psychiatrist, if not a neuropsychologist, to get a better evaluation and diagnosis. As Susie stated, most of us had an initial diagnosis of ADHD, but found that it didn't fit. Many kids with anxiety disorders keep it fairly together at school (fear?), but then let loose at home. You might consider videotaping your daughter when she's exhibiting these behaviors at home and show them to the school, psychiatrist and counselor. This might open their eyes to what's really going on, and get your daughter the help she needs. We're all on your side, and that of your daughter. We all know that if these Gifts from God (difficult children) don't get early intervention at home and at school, then there is no way they can live to their full potential. So welcome, and rant when needed, ask questions when doubtful, and for advice when you're at the end of your rope. [/QUOTE]
