[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 362871, member: 1550"] You know, I'm not sure what you really want either. To get changes for your son, you're going to have to make changes in your approach to the school and so far it doesn't seem you want to. Most likely, the school won't pay for anything privately and if they do you will have to see who THEY want you to see, and the person will likely side with the school anyway. You sort of have to be willing to change things...like really call the State Dept. of Education and get an advocate, and find a way to get your son to a private facility for testing. As it is, we do feel bad for you...trust me...but our empathy won't help your son. You do have to make changes. It sounds like they are bullying you..you need to have somebody knowledgeable at your side when you negotiate help for your child. To me it sounds like your son has more going on than severe ADHD...my daughter has ADD (not sure how severe) and on medications she is doing great. Your son sounds to me like he has other disabilities, maybe learning problems, on top of the ADHD. And they all need to be addressed and they won't be if you don't take further steps. [/QUOTE]
