[QUOTE="WearyWoman, post: 398294"] DDD - No, he has never had a neuropsychologist evaluation. He was tested by a psychologist when he was 7 years old for ADHD, using a variety of tests, including a video response test. She said he was one of the most hyperactive, unfocused kids she had seen. He wasn't able to even complete the testing because he was literally in motion the whole time. Maybe we should think about an updated assessment to include a full neurological/psychological evaluation. The zero tolerance policies are frightening for families with kids who have impulse control and executive functioning deficits. We have tried to set up either a 504 plan or IEP with the school system for JT, due to his severe ADHD, dyslexia, and problems with self regulation. However, we have never been successful for a variety of reasons, such as the fact that the school claims his problems do not impact him academically, etc. He truly is a case of falling between the cracks. He'd be better off if he had a speech/language problem or visible physical disability. The invisible kind are much harder to get any help for. [/QUOTE]
