[QUOTE="PollyParent, post: 85881, member: 3822"] I'd push to get him evaluated. If he's NEVER evaluated, then everyone can shrug their shoulders and say maybe it's this, or maybe it's that. You'll still get a lot of that once you get a desgination or a diagnosis, believe me, but once he qualifies for SpecEd he has certain legal rights to educational accommodations that the District doesn't really have to follow through on now. I've never been too hung up on labels, myself. I think therapy is a good thing, and I'm rather honest with people in talking about mental health issues, for example. It's not bravery or anything, it's just identifying a problem and working to solve it. So I have depression. So what? I work to live my life around it and not let it take over. Same with a SpecEd designation. Who cares? At least get him the help he needs now when it's still so early that those interventions can have really positive benefits. PollyParent [/QUOTE]
