[QUOTE="gail35, post: 11869, member: 3409"] Thanks for your replies. I will check out the Special Education board as well. She does keep me informed and usually sends home graded papers regularly. When we switched to the patch he started making good grades on send home papers. The patch is a little different then the Ritlan Xr that he was on, the dosage doesnt have to be as high. His Dr. had him on th 15 mg for about a month then raised it to the 20 mg. and the teacher said he was acting weepy, would cry at a drop of hat. I've noticed that is the same thing that happen when he was dosed too high on Ritlan. So I put him back down to the 15 mg. Like I said, he did good for a while and then all of a sudden he is back to not paying attention. He just will not or can not complete class work, if he gets messed up on a word on the spelling test he just wont finish the rest. He will complete homework for me but he is sitting with me and we work through it together. He cant seem to follow directions but once I explain it to him he does it with no problem. He write beautifully for me and when we get the papers home his writing is a wreck. Another thing that he does is gets his letters and numbers backwards sometimes. He does not have and IEP yet but Im not sure what to ask for on an IEP, when we meet Id like to see what his teacher says he needs. His teacher thinks he should be able to do better, do more math problems in 5 minute timed tests. Like a said before he does better for me then he does for her but I am one-on one with him. I just dont think holding him back a year is going to make a difference. He knows it now he does it now he just doesnt do it in class, the problem is he is not performing for her when he knows it now what is going to make him do it next year when he still knows it? We've got to get him to perform, but how? [/QUOTE]
