[QUOTE="Monacm, post: 534261, member: 14743"] It was the school that suggested the placement. This is when my daughter was just getting started and upping her dose of Intuniv. Once we addressed the school change with her at a Psychologist appointment in February, she got scared straight and also disclosed some type of emotional issue she had been facing with a friend of hers. After that came out she started to fully comply at school and we've had 47 straight school days of good behavior. We looked into the neuropsychologist testing, but it is not covered with our insurance and it very expensive. However, she is getting a Tova test in a couple weeks. We also had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation on her and she was found to have some optical issues (appointment with behavioral optometrist next month) and she is getting Occupational Therapist (OT) for a spinal reflex issue which can cause the fidgeting seen with ADD kids. She does have an IEP but it primarily provides some social work support and Special Education assistance in the classroom if needed. Her academic testing for the IEP shows her to have superior scores and including enrichment activities was discussed. Unfortunately, her school doesn't have a lot of Special Education services and if things escalate anytime next year, we will need a good advocate who could help us to get any additional supports or we may be forced to place her in a Special Education school. I am the main breadwinner in our family and that makes the working issue even more difficult. There is no way we could get by on my husband's wages alone. [/QUOTE]
