[QUOTE="hersheyb79, post: 418977, member: 11482"] So the way things are going right now, the preschool is telling me that unless he has a diagnosis (ADHD, ODD, Bi-Polar disorder, etc) that they cannot get him a 504 or IEP and his current behavioral services plan (BSP) cannot carry over to elementary school. Academically he will not qualify for an IEP (you need to have an academic defect to get one, and that is one of the problems getting services for him, he doesn't have one, he tests very high academically). So my concern is that he will not have the protection of that legal document to protect him. I am afraid that he will become violent and that he will be kicked out of Kindergarten making it difficult for me when he needs to start 1st grade. I believe he needs the socialization, but I also don't want to deal with the school and being called every day to pick him up. I also don't want to push all summer for a diagnosis just to have a diagnosis. If we're going to get him a diagnosis I want it to be the right one and I don't want it to be just so he can be in school. While homeschooling wouldn't be ideal, because he doesn't rage when it's just him & me and the baby I don't think it would be super stressful, and kindergarten is only 2 hours in the morning, so it would actually save me some stress of running around. We're getting a new principal in the fall and I'm feeling uncomfortable trying to work services out with a principal who's leaving and then a new person comes in and doesn't have a clue what he/she is walking into. I feel like I can give myself that extra year to get things in place and a relationship built so that he can be successful. I just don't want to set him up for failure and right now I feel like that's what I'd be doing if we send him to school in the fall. As for why he's so disturbed. I don't know. We can't understand it. We know he has some sensory issues, we know he's auditory & tactically defensive, but we don't understand why that translates with him the way it does. It's very stressful. Especially since the way almost every specialty evaluates (at least the one's we've found) evaluate 1 on 1, and so he has no issues. They won't let me bring our other kids, which would show them what they need to see. [/QUOTE]
