[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 61597, member: 2423"] An IEP is an Individual Education Plan, which would hold the school accountable for addressing your difficult child's educational needs (and if she is almost failing, she certainly has eductaional needs). If your difficult child has suspected Aspergers, you need to know for sure because that diagnosis would qualify her for both accommodations and school-based interventions under an IEP. In your shoes, I would certainly make assessing her for Aspergers my top priority, particularly because she's heading for middle school, where the academic demands make it much harder for kids with disorders to cope. Is she still raging, or do you consider her stable on her current medication mix? [/QUOTE]
