[QUOTE="Dun Haddit, post: 633726, member: 17823"] My reply is super long so it will be a couple posts. The inability to interact with peers can have a major affect on learning. Bullying is outrageous, even the here-say stuff. At our first meeting I TOLD the team that a 504 plan would not provide the structure our middle son needed. They kept trying to use his academics to disqualify him, even though, legally, they can't. Even outside of a confirmed diagnosis, any behavior exhibited that interferes with learning almost always opens the umbrella for that child to be given future accommodations. I tell anyone who will listen that schools and school districts wager parents don't know their or their children's rights. Unless you have a rare teacher or administrator that helps you, most will not do anything until you out the request in writing. Our son on the spectrum had issues with writing, so the school gave him a computer equipped with a voice program that would dictate. I wasn't too happy about that because it enabled him. At the very least, type the work! But....all that changed when I 'forced' him into 4H. Record books are kept throughout the year to track programs, events, community service and what ever project(s) a child is enrolled. From day 1 he wrote everything. All the other kids did, too, so he didn't think anything about it, which proved to me, he just didn't like to write. In the next IEP, handwriting most assignments was added. He has an amazing IEP team, we couldn't ask for better dedicated people. The child we have the most problems with is ODD, Bipolar and anxiety. At first, everything was great. We have extenuating circumstances that complicate everything for our children. Their biomom has bipolar and they suffered mental abuse, our autistic son was physically abused and mostly ignored by giving him a video game to stop meltdowns and keep him quiet. This is going to be long: The bio didn't care for those two boys, but doted on their younger twin siblings. We took the older boy almost immediately. As custody battle dragged on, she offered us the other child as a trade, hoping to end the battle for the twins. We took custody of him, too, still pursuing the twins. We had the goods on her big time. Revolving door of men, children walking in in her having sex, long term boyfriends meant more than a few weeks, immediately bringing them around the children without vetting, etc. Then she got engaged. This is when it also looked really bad for her because she had dating profiles on a couple sites claiming she only had 3 children who did not live at home, on other sites she only listed 2 children. 1 week before court she contacted CPS and claimed the middle boy molested the twins. All the children were already swing a court appointed therapist, so he, along with CPS did the investigation. Everything she claimed the twins 'told' her was ruled unfounded. Still pursuing it, she interjected she was there and saw it, contrary to her initial claim and all 4 children's interviews. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
