[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289964, member: 1233"] Another vote for contacting school about assessments and alerting them to his needs. These MUST be done via mail with signature required and certified delivery. This will give you PROOF that they were notified and he is due the protections of the law. It will need to be a letter to the principal and I think another letter to the school board. Not sure about the 2nd letter. The ladies over in Sp Ed forum will be able to give guidance on if one letter is enough or if the second part needs to be in a different letter sent to the superintendent of schools or board of ed. They can even show you templates of the letter that you can adapt to fit your situation and child. If MWM is anywhere near you maybe she could tell you the name of her neuropsychologist. You can send her a private message or if she sees this she can send it to you by private message. The parent report is going to be crucial to you in communicating with docs and other experts and teachers. It can be found in the Board Help/FAQ section. It is either called a Parent Report or Parent Input. I forget. It is SO worth the time and patience needed to complete it and then to keep it up to date. Please do NOT drop out of school. You will regret it because it will not help difficult child's behavior. The change may actually make things worse for a while - our kids do not handle change of any kind well. Either way, if you stay in school then your kids have a shot at a much better future - you will be able to provide what they need and you will not start to resent difficult child for creating circumstances that lead to you dropping out. It won't be a consious resentment, but it is one that every human would have. Try reading the following books "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene, Parenting with Love and Logic by Cline and Fay ([url]www.loveandlogic.com[/url] - look at all of their books to see which would be best. I recommend esp looking at the book for special needs kids. The audiobook versions are great for in the car if you have to drive any distance to school.), Lost at School by Ross Greene (about why our difficult children are falling through the cracks at school), adn The Out of Sync Child. Any of these can be ordered from amazon by clicking on the link at the right side of the page (this helps support the site but is NOT required), found at local bookstores, or even be ordered from 2nd hand sources like abebooks.com.
