[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 85160, member: 3907"] Another vote for the private evaluation, but I also agree that the school should do testing so that your son can get an IEP. I'm not a doctor, so please take this for what it's worth...ADD/ADHD seems to be an easy label for doctors to toss around. Other disorders sometimes present with ADHD-like behaviour, but they may be symptoms of an underlying cause. A neuropsychologist evaluation should be able to help you pinpoint what is going on with your son to cause his behaviours, and then you can find the interventions that are right for him. The fact that ADHD medications made your son's symptoms worse suggests that it is something else. A number of mood disorders are made much worse by stims, where they tend to help people with ADHD. Also, check the Special Education forum for more information about working with the school system. Best of luck, and keep us posted. Trinity [/QUOTE]
