I'm going to go to the district office today and see if there is copy of the Occupational Therapist (OT) report in his file. I had put in the letter when I requsted the evaluation. that I wanted a copy of all reports sent to me so that I could review them before the meeting. Guess the school sorta looked over that statement.
Thank you so much for the information you sent. That's just what I was looking for. by the way, I made contact with the person we spoke about. Thanks for the input.
Had a light bulb moment last night, school psy saying difficult child does not meet criteria to have him diagnosis'ed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or other severe emotional disturbed at this time. She didn't say he didn't have it, just not enough to meet the TEA qualifications. Is that how you see it? The words OHI never entered for the bipolar diagnosis.
Ok, so the school gives and takes away a diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). What to do with the OHI diagnosis (given by real medication docs) and how that affects difficult child on daily basis. That's the question I need to have them answer. I've asked about the bipolar diagnosis all along, they are the ones that keep bringing up the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). It's sorta funny (NOT!), it is like they have a sensor that bleeps out that word when it is spoken out loud. The pretend not to hear it and dance all around it when it comes up in conversation.
How about getting myself a sweat shirt with the word BIPOLAR IS REAL printed on the front and wear it to the ARD
