[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 72581, member: 1722"] Hi Mentallyworn & welcome. I think a kindergartner being suspended 4x in 4 weeks verifies that your request for assistance from the school is valid. You are going to want to send a letter by certified mail to the district's Special Education director requesting a full & complete evaluation as his being sent home (or suspended) is having a negative impact on his education. Sending the letter certified kicks in a time frame for the school to respond and start the evaluation process. There are sample letters kicking around our Special Education & Special Education Archive fora. Another tip is to stay off the telephone when dealing with the school district from this point forward. Do all correspondence by letter or email. A few more questions... If he's on medication, has there been an improvement or worsening of his symptoms since starting the medications? Has he had any chronic or serious physical illnesses? How was his early development? Did he meet his milestones on time? Is there a history of mental illness, neurological issues or substance abuse in the family tree? Many of these issues can be hereditary. Does he have any friends? What are the circumstances of his problems at school? [/QUOTE]
