[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 61681"] We just spoke to the school counselor. Requested the school psychologist to do testing. Asked for a FBA (functional behavior assessment). Even before difficult child had the bipolar not otherwise specified, diagnosis..his behavior and ODD was enough to get the IEP going. My difficult child also has the "I don't care attitude". This attitude comes and goes throughout the school year. I also meet with each of his teachers/counselors/social worker/vice principal prior to the school year. First I requested the meeting, now they suggest I do so prior to each new year. difficult child will be in 8th grade this year. He started middle school at age 10. The young age definately caught him in the maturity issue. In my case I did not need to go with the certified letter, they approached me regarding special education. Even though he is very bright, he processes the information differently than others. Making each day/class/lesson a challenge. His mouth, defiance are his biggest enemies. He had no problem telling the teachers/staff where to go. Hope you get the support you are looking for and you need. [/QUOTE]
