[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 119786, member: 805"] Hi Elise! First of all, the school cannot "make" you change, stop, or start medications. If the meeting is just his teacher and the school councelor neither of them are qualified or educated to recommend medications for your son. Please don't let them "bully" you, especially at this time when your emotions are running high (understandably :smiles:). I beleive you should approach this meeting as an information gathering. Find out if there are certain times of the day when your son seems to have more issues. See if there are any triggers that that teachers have noticed. Find out of there is a particular subject that seems to raise his frustration or a particular student that he does not get along with. Find out how he does socially at lunch and at recess. Does he misbehave in he classroom and not at gym or music class? I would do my best to narrow down his behaviors as much as possible. I believe you should let them know that you are open to the idea of having your son reevaluated. If you can afford or your insurance will cover, I would suggest a multidisciplinary evaluation or an evaluation by a pediatric neuropdoc. Given that your son has been on so many "traditional" adhd medications wihtout success, could mean that there is more to the boy than adhd. He could be on the totally wrong line of medications. Take a deep breath and let the school know that you are just as, and more so, concerned about his behaviors as they are. That you will be looking into continueing his evaluation process, but you welcome any ideas and suggestions they may have in the meantime. I'm sure your little boy is not the first to cross their paths with behavior issues. Listen to their ideas, but follow your gut. And, congrats on the birth of your new baby :flowers:. I'm sure your older son is feeling some emotions that he cannot exactly put words to. He may be feeling a little second fiddle. How about just some mommy and him time this weekend when someone can look after the little one for a couple hours? I hope the meeting goes well. Pop in and give us an update tomorrow. Sharon [/QUOTE]
