[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 466187"] The diagnosis sounds like it is one that says there is something wrong but we don't know what it is. I have heard that the ODD diagnosis comes with a stigma in the schools and they become very heavy handed and punitive. Does P-DR stand for psychiatrist or pediatrician? In order to find out what is wrong you need to do a whole lot of testing. Have you already done the neuropsychologist, Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), testing? Nope, not true. My son is actually ahead of his peers academically or in his worst subjects right on grade level with them. I got him a 504 and then an IEP based on his behavior disrupting the learning of the other students. Violence is violence but how it is handled by the school depends on what the diagnosis is. Suppose a child is throwing desks; not a good behavior and should not happen. Without an IEP the child would be suspended. With an IEP the school team sits down to find out why the child was throwing desks and what could be done so it doesn't happen again. Child might still be suspended. BUT, with an IEP the school can only suspend a child for 10 days before the appropriateness of the child's placement in that school is called into question. School districts don't like to pay for different placement so suspensions for a child with an IEP aren't handed out as often. [/QUOTE]
