[QUOTE="Arttillygirl, post: 109189, member: 3522"] Thanks for taking the time to help. I am afraid the new school will have watered down curriculum and he will be with many dislexic kids, etc. Intellegence isn't the problem, motivation is. I tried to tell the psy that his ADHD needs to be treated not just his depression but unfortunately he doesn't tolerate stimulants well and developed grimaces years ago. Does anyone know of a particularly good ADHD medication that isn't a stimulant? Strattera didn't do a thing for us. What mood stablizer is your son on KJS? As far as IEP, it's a private school and it does have a resource room my son visits each day for an hour and....sleeps. They are really hands off now that he's a sophmore. Should I meet with- all his teachers and develop a plan of consequences at home? I noticed at the new school the student carried around a paper that the teacher had to sign based on behavior, participation, homework assignments, etc. I'd like to maybe develop one and have my son carry it around. I feel like the teachers would not like the extra burden of having to sign it but maybe it would be brief and if my son didn't bring it home daily there'd be no ipod no electronics, no tv, etc... He was an A- student last year and he says there is nothing wrong except he doesn't like the school, but you know lots of kids don't like school-any school. [/QUOTE]
