[QUOTE="nvts, post: 116461, member: 3814"] I would send a certified letter to the school noting that this is on his IEP and they are not honoring it. Plain and simple: it says you have to do it, you're not, therefore, you are in violation of his IEP and his education is being negatively effected. DONE! I'd question this ADHD bit too. I don't know much about medications, but if this is "sudden onset" I'd be curious to see where they came up with ADHD. Has he been tested for read/write disorders? Sometimes kids are so smart that they can absorb what's going on in class, yet as the work gets harder they then have to count on the written word to do the homework. These disorders can show up early or late depending on how involved the work is for the individuals. Just a thought! Has he ever been disappointed by friends on his birthday in the past? You know, one of those birthday's where you invite the entire class and only 1 or 2 show up, or no RSVP's, or even worse the kids accept and then don't show? Has he ever witnessed one of these happen with another kids? It could be that he's afraid of it happening to him. I'm also thinking that he's anxiety ridden over the birthday thing. Why don't you try a small group casual type of birthday. I'm thinking you contact the parents of 2 or 3 of his closest friends and block out some time and either go bowling, a movie, a make-your-own pizza and dvd party kind of thing. If it grows into a sleep over, fine. If not, no biggee either. 13's a rough age to begin with, add in self-doubt and you're toast! Keep up the great work! He's got someone who really loves him and that's the most important part! Beth [/QUOTE]
