[QUOTE="keista, post: 466207, member: 11965"] This Dr is VERY smart! I like him/her already. Yes, he fits the criteria for ODD, but so do many other kids with dxs ranging from adhd, anxiety, autism, sensory integration disorder, the list just goes on and on. The ODD label provides very little information for treatment. It is behavioral in nature as opposed to biological. That school psychiatrist is LYING to you. Schools do not like to do 504s or IEPs. It costs them time and money. They are required by law to provide them, they are not required to make it easy for parents to get them. Send your request in writing as suggested above. Also, absolutely, positively stick it out with the school until you get an IEP or at least a 504. As Otto mentioned, there are often scholarships available. Here, too, (although I *think* Otto is in the same state as me) kids with IEPs and 504s are offered scholarship money that they can use at private schools, but this ONLY kicks in once the IEP or 504 is in place. And, sweetie, homeschooling is always an option, but make sure you've got other respite set up. We Warrior Moms can put up with pretty much anything, but we still need to get a break. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
