[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 555568"] That's pretty low. He might need an increase. Dosage for this medication is based on weight and benefits. My difficult child 1 only weighs 75 lbs and is on 40mg in the AM and 25 mg in the afternoon. If the medication is working, I would ask the psychiatrist about an increase. It's only the 10/4/12. Do you mean a year ago or did you get the month wrong? . They do a complete re-evaluation every year?? That would be highly unusual. Once he has an IEP, he will have it until/if he doesn't need it any more. But, they have to re-evaluate the need at least every 3 years.
