[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 88512, member: 23"] Even though you are working with-a private professional, if you haven't sent a letter via certified mail to the school district requesting an evaluation via IDEA regs, I recommend that you do so immediately. [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/if-i-want-to-write-a-formal-request-for-iep-re-evaluation.22433/[/url] is a sample letter if you need one and there are others in the Special Education Archives forum. Unless you have a Parent Report already prepared and ready to go, edit out that paragraph and submit it to the sd in a week or two if you wish. Retitle it "Parent Input." School districts are only required to evaluate in "suspected" areas of disability. Parent input can help a school district "suspect." Also, IDEA requires that school districts consider parent input in the evaluation process. If you are unfamiliar with IDEA/IEP/Special Education process, rules, regs, parental and student rights, etc., there's a "getting started" thread in the Sp Ed Archives that will give you an overview. Upon receipt of your letter, Protections for Children Not Yet Eligible for Special Education kicks in for your son. There's a thread in the archives on this topic also. Keep all the written information you are getting from the teacher regarding difficult child's behavior. It's documentation that you may need in the future. Documentation is very important, period. If you've already discussed behavior issues with the teacher and she has been unresponsive, you may want to consider meeting with the principal, explain that the teacher's behavior management style is contrary to recommendations from difficult child's psychiatric (in non-judgmental way); explain that you are concerned because difficult child is beginning to dislike school, his depression is deepening, behavior is deteriorating; and ask what can be done to get some "positive behavior intervention and supports" implemented.
