[QUOTE="Michellenurse0, post: 46846, member: 3775"] I totally agree with Martie, I was lied to by the SD and given a "504" to shut me up. Only to my surprise did I find that a 504 isnt even followed by the teachers because they have "too" many to read. My friend is a teacher and she said she gets like 45 504s and is she really supposed to read all of them? OH MY. I put in writing a request for testing and when my difficult child tested on a superior intelligence level they told me he wasnt eligible for classification. I filed a grievance , and had social workers write letters stating that his ADHD with ODD, anxiety and other issues leads to his poor grades. He had to fail terribly too. Fight all the way dont let the SD say she cant be classified. Go for the other health impaired. [url="http://www.bridges4kids.org/Disabilities/MIlabels.html#other"]http://www.bridges4kids.org/Disabilities/MIlabels.html#other[/url] scroll down in that link and read classifications of other health impaired Other health impairment means having limited strength, vitality or alertness, including a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli, that results in limited alertness with respect to the educational environment, that(i) Is due to chronic or acute health problems such as asthma, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diabetes, epilepsy, a heart condition, hemophilia, lead poisoning, leukemia, nephritis, rheumatic fever, and sickle cell anemia; and (ii) Adversely affects a childs educational performance You have the right to an impartial hearing if you feel the SD is just blowing you off. Trust me it took 3 years to have him classified. Start now it will be worth it in the end. Im going for my IEP next week , we are having behavioral issues now too. Good luck [/QUOTE]
