I want to briefly share my story in the hopes that someone can help guide me in the right direction. I have a 13 year old boy who has been diagnosed with ADD, anxiety, sensory integretion disorder and possible Aspergers. Prior to the past 9 weeks he functioned pretty much normally. He was taking 36 mg. Concerta in the am and 18 mg at lunch. 9 weeks ago we moved to a different state. His prescription could not be refilled and they made he start over with the doctors here before they would prescribe any medication. He was/is an honor student until now. Last 9 weeks - all Fs. Not because he cannot do the work, but because he has no medication and cannot function. He has had 5 referrals for behavior issues from one particular teacher for sitting with legs in isle, chewing gum, talking, tapping pencil, etc. Today he was suspended because the same teacher had made yet another referral for my son being disprespectful when he told him he couldn't sit at the back of the class because 1)can't see the board and 2) he cannot follow the class. THe teacher's response was "not my problem, thank you and have a seat". My son proceeds to argue with the instructor about where he's siting and that earns him a spot in the administrator's office and a day's suspension. Okay, last Tuesday the new dr. prescribed 20 mg. Ritalin LA for him based on the paperwork his step-dad and I filled out. Not one teacher responded with their evaluations. Friday we have a parent conference with the one teacher, administrator, guidance counselor and step-dad and myself. ADD worker at doctors office has suggested I request an IDEA (IEP) evaluation and says that even if they don't agree to that, he has a right to certain assistance based on his ADD diagnosis alone. My son is depressed, irritated, aggravated and ready to just give up. I am a fighter and fight I will, but I feel like I am beating my head against a wall....Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated... </span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
