Hi,
My son has a (first evaluation.) of ODD/Mood Disorder not otherwise specified and Learning Disorder not otherwise specified. I just received the report but have yet to talk with his Psy. Dr. about the report.
An Aunt in my husbands family is a school principal. So I called her to see what I should do when it comes to school right now. Do I talk with them now about son's Learning Disability (LD) and things going on or do I wait. She suggested I call them and inform them that he's had an evaluation. it found a Learning Disability (LD), MD, and ODD. Also said I should give them a copy of the report and request a 504. She told me to stay calm and understanding and not become the over bearing parent. I have no intentions of becoming the over bearing parent to the school. I want to work with them as a team and keep on good grounds with getting him what he needs. Which is not even something I fully know just yet as I don't know what kind of Learning Disability (LD) he has.
So with saying that, I called his school yesterday bright and early. Transfered me to a Social worker who's voice mail answered. Left a message. Haven't heard from her yet.
Ok, So also know my son needs two interventions from the school. One I know about right now.. Peer Mediation once a week. So, we have that request from the school. What would be an intervention that the school might do? I'm not even sure what that means? He may have had some last year and I never knew about it? I dunno.
I'm lost when it comes to this stuff. I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to school stuff.
Had conf. meetings with one of his teachers last week. Son at that time had a couple D's, F, one B, and two C. Today I look online and he has 3 f's, 3 D's, and one C.
He's been doing homework at home but not turning it in for math class. All the other classes I have no idea what he's doing, until now where I can see it online (just learned how to check that finally thanks to one of his teachers!). He has TONS of stuff out for homework or things he could have gotten grades for. From the sounds of it, he won't be able to make up what's already passed. So I'm trying to work with him now that I can see all the stuff he has out online daily and try to get it in.
How many days should I wait for her to call me back before I call again? Should I provide the full report to them?
Can I request anything from his teachers in the meantime or tell them anything?
I know how to be proactive for my son but this report has put me into circles because I don't know where to start. It's just a bit overwhelming. You all know that.
Thanks for reading.
