[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 555841"] If a psychiatrist hasn't officially diagnosed adhd and/or odd, then they don't have to accept those diagnosis's. If his IEP is for specific learning disabilities, they won't address behavior issues. You REALLY need tohave a thorough evaluation by a neuropsychologist and/or child psychiatrist ASAP. The diagnosis's need to be made VERY official. In the meantime, request (in writing, Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested) that the school do a Functional Behavior Assessment(FBA) to prepare for a Positive Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) to be added to his IEP. Is it an advocate listed on the paperwork or someone to contact if you have issues with the IEP, process, or team. If that's all it is, they aren't an advocate, they are someone from an agency hired by the school district for compliance purposes. That is what we had and they wouldn't advocate for my difficult child 1, they only made sure the school was complying with the IDEA laws. When he/she calls back on Monday, make sure you ask them what their role is BEFORE you get into a conversation. If all they are is what I encountered, hang up without a word because they won't help. If their job truly is to ADVOCATE for the student and their needs AND are not paid by the school district, then lay it all out for them. It sounds like you are going to need to go to battle with this school and I hope it is just that, a battle, not a full out war like I had to endure. [/QUOTE]
