[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 383381, member: 1550"] Although I can't tell you how to handle the school district...I do suggest you have your child evaluated again this time by a private neuropsychologist. Sounds like he COULD be on the autism spectrum, high functioning, which would not only explain all of his behaviors (and "honest to a fault"), but would force the school to respect his problems and give him accommodations. I would never allow my kid to sit in an ODD class. What in the world is THAT? ODD is basically a diagnosis. they give when they don't know what is going on. Mainstreaming works best if you are very on target as to the disorder the child has because then you are sure what he needs in order to remain mainstreamed successfully. Kids on the spectrum often do have meltdowns when they are frustrated and often require an aide, but you don't get one with a bunch of different diagnosis. Not saying he's on the spectrum, but it sounds like he could be. NeuroPsychs tend to find what others miss. As an aside, some people just can't afford attornys. That was never on the table for us...don't have enough $$$ for that. Advocates can be good, but they also need to know the label...labels mean a lot in getting school help. Good luck and hang in there ;) [/QUOTE]
