[QUOTE="amyherrero, post: 278138, member: 7512"] I have my son's IEP coming up on Wednesday June 3. This was his first school year with an IEP. There wasn't much on it, just a goal for behavior and one for Writing. I feel like I have been the "dumb parent" all these years trusting the school to do what is right for my son. I am now getting smarter. His IEP is under Emotional Disturbance. He sees a therapist (MFT Intern), has a pediatric behavorial psychiatrist (I think I got it right), goes to an afterschool therapuetic program - all paid for by me. No diagnosis, the dr. doesn't believe in labeling kids unless needed for insurance or schools. Schools assessment pointed to Aspergers didn't quite have all the criteria for the DSM-IV (4 out of 5). Dr. said not ADD or ADHD, but maybe ODD. Feeling a little frustrated. He has huge Executive Funciton Deficits. I feel like the fight has already begun with the school. Oh and he has a behavior support plan (BSP) for 4th grade, that I didn't know still was in existence. If that is so everyone including the principal has violated it, ending up with my son getting suspended. I am asking for support and goals in the IEP that address his lack of executive function. They say that will be in the BSP. I want a functional behavior assessment done so we can write a thorough intervention, one wasn't done before. The principal for next year will be there along with the 6th grade resource teacher so I don't want to seem like a crazy, but I don't want to come away feeling run over or like the "dumb parent" again. Any and all advice needed. Thank you, Amy me - 40 divorced single mom, in recovery from substance abuse son - 10 - unknown, takes concerta 54mg a day daughter - 20 - subtance abuse- in recovery daughter - 15 - lives with father due to my past, very strained relationship [/QUOTE]
