[QUOTE="klmno, post: 197026, member: 3699"] gcvmom, that is what I'm thinking will (or might) happen with difficult child- when he's hyper at school and they treat him like they just expect him to stop acting that way and they try to handle it by making the environment more confining, this could definitely make things worse. If they acknowledge that this is what is going on with him (at least in their own minds- not necessarily with a conversation with difficult child), then either find a way to let him get some energy out for 15 mins before sitting down and focusing, or talking with him about the lesson (letting him talk-and talk- and talk as loong as it's about school work), it might be more effective. But, it seemed she didn't want to have an IEP meeting because she and his teachers want to get to know him better. I said I could provide them with info. and told her 2 people who worked well with difficult child last year that I'm sure could provide them insights and suggestions. One was his cm and one was his accelerated math teacher (who was also at iep meetings a lot), and I'm sure they both would be happy to help with this transition. She acted like this might step on some people's toes because the teachers could take it like other teachers were trying to tell them how to teach their class. I just don't get this- the kid is on an iep- they should be wanting whatever background info they can get. Then she tells me how long she's been doing this- yeah- well how many have come in there with a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis? Probably not a lot since they haven't been diagnosis'ing this in kids for all that long and up until the past couple years, I doubt many parents would go to the school and announce that diagnosis to the iep team. But, I'm kind of over that. It is what it is and it shouldn't be difficult child having to hide because of their lack of information or understanding. They should be catching up on it, in my humble opinion. It just leaves me thinking that she's another person that believes one form of management works with all kids, no matter what their issue or diagnosis, and I'm convinced that isn't true. If it were, there would be no iep. [/QUOTE]
