[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 314069, member: 6546"] Yes--the school district had their people do an evaluation in kindergarten (maybe first grade?) and found nothing. They viewed my daughter's problems strictly as a "behaviorial issue" and suggested all kinds of reward charts that I should try to get her to comply with homework and other issues. I began searching for professional help outside the SD and eventually received a referral to the child psychologist, who is the first and only professional who ever did any sort of in-depth testing....at the time, I thought that it was very thorough. As a result of that testing (end of second grade), difficult child was prescribed Ritalin and the school implemented a 504 Plan which required the teacher to give her preferential seating and provide written support for all verbal lessons. Bullying, stealing and other social problems were handled on a case-by-case basis with the school's guidance dept. The counselors usually tried to mediate the situation whenever possible. Sometimes, difficult child was simply excused from certain activities altogether (such as participating in work groups). The 504 Plan was used in third and fourth grade and then dropped, as the SD felt that difficult child had "matured". We moved after sixth grade and difficult child started seventh in the new school district. difficult child was hospitalized for the first time at the beginning of eigth grade. She is now in her first year of high school. [/QUOTE]
