[QUOTE="klmno, post: 138389, member: 3699"] Thanks, JJJ! I had to vent about it all last night. I got so frustrated when they basicly said he was on an IEP for behavior and that they acknowledged that he had an ED, but they didn't normally deal with mental health issues so whether or not the previous neuropsychologist test results revealed anything like cognitive or memory issues, and whether or not there was a problem with his grades reflecting ability, they just didn't see a reason to change anything. And wasn't I happy that his behavior is so much better this year- and what did I think the school had done to improve that behavior. I said "nothing at all". When asked, then how did I account for his great improvement- I said "switching from prozac to mood stabilizers- now, what can be done at school to help him in the other areas of his disability that affect his abilities at school?" I guess that was the rest of my vent. As far as what I'm going to do- I'm not sure. The complaint would need to be filed within the next few days if I want the stuff they did last spring to be reviewed, too. Being able to submit that info would really help to show a consistent resistence to helping these kids- or at least mine. I doubt if we're the only family in this sd that has had to go through this though. Apparetnyl, they weren't so accommodating to kids with autism either, until they lost a couple of court cases. Now they have a autism specialist on board for the district. My position was, they should go ahead and get a specialist on board who has an expertise in mood disorders because "well, look at the high percentage of kids diagnosis'd with adhd that they think might really be BiPolar (BP)". She said I had a point! [/QUOTE]
