[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 424807, member: 6705"] Hi Kez! Welcome. First of all - does she have any diagnoses at all? Clearly there is at least an issue with her visiting the nurse that much. I agree that it's anxiety. What does the IEP cover? Extra help, time, Occupational Therapist (OT)...? My stepson had an IEP beginning in K because he "couldn't talk". Turned out that, one, he couldn't [I]hear[/I] well, and two, he spent most of his time with his Japanese grandmother, who barely speaks English, even now. No diagnosis at all. Just speech therapy. (After 4 years of living with us, he no longer pronounces the letters "or" as "oy" - which is good considering his first name (not really Jett).) In late 2nd grade (March), BM put him on Concerta. My cute little boy turned into a monster on stims. And his anxiety went nuts. [I]Then[/I] she had tubes put in his ears. Beginning in 3rd grade (he is in 6th now) he began living with us. We got a second opinion, weaned him off the Concerta (whew), and while we do still see signs of ADHD, it's not as bad - neither is the anxiety. However, due to his other diagnosis's, we kept the IEP on board. The school seems to have some problems implementing our requests, so we are looking at an advocate. I would suggest you do the same. The school [I]must [/I]provide a Free, Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). If your school will not help, try the district - if they won't help, go to the state Board of Education. You may even have to find an education lawyer... Again, welcome - and hugs. [/QUOTE]
