[QUOTE="Sunlighthealer, post: 274208, member: 7437"] Hi, I just joined this site and I am soo glad I did. I can not wait for this school year to be over, if even that it only means no more suspensions this year. My 6 yo, C, has ADHD and ODD, and last week, was suspended for the 4th time his 1st year of school. Some friends of mine have been telling me about IEPs and after reading on here a bit, I am definitely going to be talking to his principal about it. This last suspension has been a real stresser too. Apparently after upsetting a sub, they sent a little girl to get the principal who was across the way. C grabbed her wrists and would not let so, so the teacher sent another little girl. That was a mistake on her part, as he did the exact same thing to the next little girl. When the principal arrived, he would not go with her, and threw a toy he earned from the classroom treasure chest at her. She then took the toy, and when she did that he just lost it. He scratched, kicked, pulled on, and hit the principal to get his toy back. When I got there, she and the nurse had to restrain him he was so out of control.
