[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 510674, member: 12490"] Hi there - I have been there. Although my son's lack of functioning was do to severe anxiety and self medicating with pot. He went to school - just didn't do anything there - when I say anything, I mean anything - no homework, no classwork, no notetaking, no attention to classes, just empty. Very painful to watch. What I would sya to you is that I would be truthful with the school. They will want to help. I am sure they are already thinking of ways to help. I would start the IEP process, formally in writing, ASAP even though your psychiatrist appointment is pending only because she definately will need something. In this type of case, it's almost just a formailty so they can give you whatever support you need. Then, because this will be in place, they will work WITH you to transition her back when she is ready. Even if she goes for inpatient, the school needs to provide the content. In my experience, the school will work WITH you. They can see when a kid is suffering and they know forcing the norm doesn't help in these cases. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
