Hi every one I haven't posted in a long time but I have visited and read alot.
I will give you guys a quick review in hopes that you can help me prepare for IEP meeting thankyou all in advance.... :angel:
Well my difficult child was finally diagnosed with ADD just 2 days ago
She just started 3rd grade last month
difficult child had a terrible kindergarden year she was not speaking much and she mostly got into trouble for pushing , hitting and spitting and lots of defiancy. I fought the school tooth and nail to get her IEP which she did not get.
difficult child went on to 1st grade, from the beginning teacher and difficult child did not hit it off it was daily calls home and she earned about 25 consecutive detentions which she chose to ditch I was finally able to get her IEP in the middle of this school year her speech improved and she was able to get speech classes toward the end of this school year things got worst teacher and difficult child were just having the battle of the wills.
2nd grade I was able to help select teacher I met with teacher before difficult child started school and gave teacher the Explosive Child book since IEP was established and difficult child was seeing a new doctor. seeking proper diagnosis she did much better this year with the exception of not wanting to write. See she can't spell because her speech was still slurred and she was showing defiency only in writing class 2nd grade went fairly well speech improved much much more but difficult child still refused to write she finished this year with 3 A's 1 B and a C- in writing.
Now we are in third grade difficult child is on Concerta 27mg first 2 weeks I have not heard form teacher difficult child is coming home daily and doing her work even written work
:smile:!!!! I am estatic beside myself though her spelling she is doing her written work I am sooooo happy I am thinking Principal must have spoken to new teacher and this is why difficult child is doing great plus she matured over the summer and the concerta is helping and difficult child is enthusiastic about school she is NOT getting in trouble during recess or lunch YIPEE!!!
Well on the 3rd week I heard form teacher difficult child got detention for forgetting to bring home her homework ???? i check her backpack everyday she is getting more homework she is not complaining she is doing her HW ??? Well teacher says "well this year I cannot baby her!!" It is difficult child's responsability to tear out her HW from work book and if she forgets she goes to detention, then she tells me difficult child was refusing to go to detention and offered to stay in class duing recess and finished HW but teacher said no so off to detention she went :bloodshot: I spoke briefly to teacher about difficult child and her track record teacher said she had not had time to see my difficult child's quem ( i guess this means school file) yet but she would try to get on it!!! now difficult child is happy and still struggling with spelling but she is doing her work spelled wrong but doing it. I asked the principal for IEP meeting next week and she granted it. Today difficult child brought home a health test she took she got an F it was a written test I read her answers she really tried but they were marked wrong her spelling is very behind :bloodshot: She will need help in this area what can I ask for in IEP that can help her ????
