[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741451, member: 23349"] You're getting lots of great advice from some real parent warrior heroes here! It sounds like pushing for an IEP would be a really good idea. I really wish I'd had this kind of guidance while mine were still in school. I was repeatedly denied an IEP and I never heard of an advocate at that time. But there are LOTS of kids of IEPs now - I don't think he'll feel "singled out." I'll bet there are a lot of his peers on IEPs that he doesn't even know about. What I'm realizing now is that the IEP might have also been a useful paper trail to have as they transitioned to adult life, to help them get additional services and establish that their problems began in childhood. I don't have that paper trail and wish I did, especially for my daughter S. Something else to think about as you make your decision. [/QUOTE]
