[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 402432, member: 3444"] I remember those phone calls! difficult child 2 was in 5th grade and it was probably his worst year as that's when his BiPolar (BP) symptoms were really coming out with a vengeance. The school simply did not know what to do with him, other than have him sit in the vice principal's office to do his work. The last few weeks of school I kept him home more days than not and simply called him in "sick," since he truly was suffering from an illness, even if it wasn't a physical one. The school understood. His class had a special field trip to a colonial re-enactment farm during one of those weeks. He was too unstable to ride on the bus, so I drove him there myself and stayed by his side the entire day. He was very manic at the time, and there was simply no other way to do it. I practically needed a leash for him, lol. But I was fortunate in that I could do this and I can't imagine having the stress of a job and a boss to deal with on top of all the difficult child drama. Hope everything goes well for the IEP and that they can get some appropriate supports and accommodations in place quickly! [/QUOTE]
