[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 392017"] From the descriptions of behaviors at school you gave, your son should qualify for an IEP under the [B]Emotional/Behavioral Disorders[/B]. That is a category that allows services based on emotional/behavior needs instead of physical or academic difficulties. I would specifically question the school district about that. If they didn't do any classroom, lunch, or recess observations, I would specifically request that they do that. Make sure the request is in writing and you either hand deliver it and have someone sign that they received it OR send it registered mail with "return receipt requested". I would not let the school off the hook that easily. Some sd's don't want to pay for the evaluations or they don't want to have to provide services that may cost them money. [B]Keep after them[/B]. If you still have problems, contact an advocate to help you. Having one of those involved usually gets our difficult children the services they need. As for the psychiatrist, I would recommend you look around for one that has the soonest opening no matter how far you have to travel as soon as you can. In the meantime, keep very detailed notes about ALL phone calls, emails, and other communication to/from the school. Also write down ALL the specific behavioral situations they tell you about. The more detailed information about the behaviors you hear about, the quicker a psychiatrist can make a diagnosis. Keep after the school about EBD services, get an advocate, and GET A psychiatrist asap. Show the school you are working hard to get answers as soon as you can and also that you are going to fight for your son. Since you already raised one Aspie, could your son also be an Aspie and you just don't see it because your home is already "set up" for that? Could it be another of the Autism Spectrum disorders that you don't see at home because you are conducive to them already? Definitely get the book Lost at School as Allen suggested. [/QUOTE]
