[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 522468, member: 8831"] and cablonde...step is right about them not wanting to pay for it--they may or may not accept a psychiatrist diagnosis. the object for you is to show educational impact (where his symptoms are actually causing a problem with school work). thats what you as his advocate have to remember--a diagnosis does not automatically qualify someone for an IEP. you have to show cause. like, you could have adhd which is completely controlled with medications and have no issues with school whatsoever. just because you have the diagnosis doesnt guarantee you'd get an IEP (504's are much more lax). or you could have a seizure disorder thats controlled--doesnt mean you need an IEP. for you, the goal is to show (and sometimes imply its worse than it is :wink:) how its impacting his learning...which means sometimes you have to lean on the edge of creativity to get 'er done. social deficeits are often the hardest to word, but you can show how its difficult to communicate with peers in the classroom, group work can be impossible, and so on...i cant think of a better example off the top of my head, lol, so i hope you get my point. *ANYTHING* can be worded in a way that shows its impacting his edu...so think about it in advance. and if i remember correctly, you are in a state that relies on some kind of regional centers for their disabled population---i'm not saying your son is appropriate for it because i have no idea what the criteria is to qualify for services through them, but it would be well worth calling yours to pick a brain or two....
