Welcome to our little spot in the world. What is going on with school? Does you child have a diagnosis?

He is 11 years old ADHD and ODD. He goes to a charter school and is at home right now for disrespecting teachers. Just found out about IEP's. Now I need to know how to navigate in here!

welcome to the board.

the best suggestion i can make is that you go to the Special Education 101 forum archives: http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/forums/special-ed-101-archives.16/ & start reading some of the threads in there.

Welcome. Maybe you should post on Special Education 101. Something to think about: An ADHD/ODD is often the first diagnosis when it is really something else, therefore the stims don't work. You may want to get a second opinion. If your child hasn't seen a Psychiatrist (with the MD) or neuropsychologist, I highly recommend both. Therapists without MD's aren't the greatest diagnosticians, in my opinion. Look at your family tree. Any mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of it? Any neurological/autism in the family? Suicide attempts? Glad you found us.
