[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 555940, member: 1550"] When we had to fight for Sonic AND Jumper, I found a seperate-from-the-school-district advocate by calling t he state Dept. of Public Education, usually located in your state capital. She was awesome and had no ties to the school district and we got everything we wanted for both kids. She was on the side of our kids, not the teachers, not the school. I also recommend a private neuropsychologist evaluation. I think it would pull more weight than a pediatrician or a regular psychologist. And more may be going on than ADHD/ODD. Not all ADHD kids act out like your son...certainly other issues could be underlying. A lot of school districts pay no attention to ADHD, thinking it is trite. My daughter had an ADD diagnosis and we had to go through hello to get a 504 for her. ODD is kind of a garbage diagnosis that gets thrown in there when a professional can't explain why the child is acting out and it usually doesn't get attention either. I have a relative and a good friend who work with special needs kids in public school classrooms and both say that ODD is seen as "parents are BAD." I'd try to get a more solid reason for why your son speaks out in class and is sometimes inappropriate. My daughter with ADD never had any behavioral problems...there are probably separate reasons than ADHD for why your child has to blurt things out during class. If not, it's always good to try to get to the nitty gritty...can't hurt. "Better to be safe than sorry :) [/QUOTE]
