[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 398307, member: 2322"] Just out of curiosity, how is he able to do so well in school and not even do the neuro psychiatric testing? Kind of curious. I am a big believer in neuropsychologist testing. but if you have been fairly recently and don't think it will help him get an IEP i don't know if it is worth it. You seem to have a good handle on his behaviors and unless you think there is some underlying psychiatric problem I doubt that you will learn much that will help you get better accommodations in school. The reason to have an IEP it would seem is to try to protect him a bit if he does something really impulsive in school again. And even that kind of protection only goes so far as my understanding is that they can still expel a kid with an IEP for certain actions. I dunno, for my money, I would try to find someone experienced with Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). Even if he doesn't have that, it looks a whole lot like he does and you might get some leads on some resources that would help you handle the early adult years assuming he continues to be impulsive. When you find someone like that, let me know please! [/QUOTE]
