[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 132441, member: 1233"] For an IEP they have to have a disorder or be OHI (other health impaired). I would encourage her to visit here. It sounds like they have not gotten the RIGHT evaluations, it can take an average of 7 years to get the right diagnosis for a child with mental illness. This was in several Aspergers books I read. With an Asperger's diagnosis he would be eligible to receive services as his needs direct. It opens up the autism help to him and gives him a LOT of services usually. Have they had a neuropsychologist evaluate him (a good neuropsychologist evaluation will be 10-12 hours, broken up)? Or a multidisciplinary team (usually found at major hospitals, esp children's hospitals)? A MD team will have a wide variety of doctors. Ours was in the developmental pediatrician's office. Every child treated there got this evaluation - 4 visits, almost 3 hours each. I am sorry her stepson is having so much trouble. Do the parents work well together? Is he triangulating them to get what he wants? Sometimes that carries over into school and makes big problems. Hugs, and it was good of you to try to help her. Susie [/QUOTE]
