[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 385348"] Welcome to the board. Glad you came here but am VERY sorry you had to. The recommendation to begin the IEP process was a good one. Do it. Put a request in writing to the school district for an "expedited" evaluation for Special Education services ASAP. Send it registered mail with "return receipt requested". That is important so someone there has to sign for it. In the mean time, take advantage of the meeting with the school personnel. Take all documentation you have of any and all diagnoses and the medications he [B]was[/B] on. Is there a reason the new doctor switched medications? If he was successful on the Concerta dosages, then it only makes sense that it should be continued. If something is working, don't fix it. I would question the doctor and request they put your son back on the Concerta, unless there was a GOOD reason for the change. If you had no issues with the Concerta, I would go to a different doctor. Is the doctor a Psychiatrist? Did your son have an IEP at the old school? If he did, that should have transferred to the new school and they are obligated to follow it or hold an IEP meeting to make any changes. You have come to the right place. You will get very helpful suggestions from the parents here. They have been a Godsend to me. Good Luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
