[QUOTE="jal, post: 156706, member: 3477"] Dreambeliever82, I would request by registered mail a meeting to begin working on an IEP (if you haven't already). You can involve members of the other places your son attends to be on the team. When we started the IEP process with our school 2 of my son's daycare teachers were on the team. That helped to relay information to the team and for them to be part of the strategies that were developed for him. Currently he is not in that daycare and is in another that he attends after school (kindergarten here is only half day). This daycare is aware of his diagnosis and his rx and he has adjusted beautifully there. I think what helped is that he goes in with kids from his school (where he used to be picked up and taken to a different town for daycare) and being with his friends helps him to keep it together. They are recently using a sticker chart that has helped him to keep on track. Don't get me wrong he still has issues, but I have not had one phone call to pick him up like I used to when he was younger. My difficult child has been to a well known authored psychologist (not all their cracked up to be) We've been through 2 psychiatrists (the 2nd one is a godsend) He has had neuropsychologist testing (no diagnosis from that only agreement on mood disorder) Been through 1 therapist (currently looking for another) difficult child's IEP plan outlines a para (a volunteer for the school that shadows him). He has his own and SD had to hire another to replace for the whole classroom. Movement breaks, behavior plan (after certain intervals of time he has to mark down on his own chart how is behavior has been - this is positive as he hates to circle the frowning faces and likes to show his teachers all the smiley faces). School just hired someone to complete a functional behavioral assessment and we have given them access to speak with daycare. His teacher and I go back and forth daily in a notebook regarding his day. As for any other rx, you can see in my signature that difficult child is on 4 medications. These are to treat for mood disorder and anxiety. I swear he is definately ADHD, but stimulants send him over the edge and we have trialed them all. I certainly know what you mean about feeling alone in all of this and this site is a life saver. To know that you are not the only one that has been dealing with an emotional child who has difficulties in "normal" activites really helps. It is exhausting, draining and emotionally devastating dealing with all of this, but I think the one goal we all strive for is to get our difficult child's through it in the most postive way that we can so that they can go forth and be responsible, contributing members of society.
