[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 491093"] Welcome Somerset. You HAVE come to the right place. difficult child 1 had SEVERE depression issues caused by the school mishandling the anxiety and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) issues. Because of the stress, he had headaches and stomach aches too. School staff just don't get it and it is VERY frustrating. My difficult child 1 is only 4 ft tall and weighed only 65 pounds and there was NO way I was able to get him to school if he didn't want to go for any reason. Since she does okay with the work but stresses over catching up and keeping up at the same time, do you think the school would be willing to work with you on getting it done but not immediately? My advocate and I pushed really hard for the school to allow difficult child 1 to turn in missed work "late without penalty" because it was more important to get it done than WHEN it got done (within reason of course). We also pushed for them to prioritize assignments. If it wasn't a "core" requirement, but more of an "enrichment" assignment, we wanted them to drop that assignment for difficult child 1. That sounds like something you might want to talk to them about. If they aren't willing to work with you, send a formal "request for her to be evaluated for special education services as dictated by IDEA". As Buddy said, let the story unfold as you're ready. We are a very patient bunch (we have difficult child's so have no choice). I ditto the change of therapist. That one is NOT being helpful. Yes, you need to help difficult child prepare for adulthood but in BABY STEPS. Definitely look into all medical avenues for the physical stuff.
