[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 44363, member: 23"] We all go through the grieving process. It's hard. Big hug for you. Things are not as hopeless as they may seem. Appropriate diagnosis, implemention of an effective multimodial treatment plan -- it makes a difference. It just takes time to pull it all together. Medication? That's a really hard one, and it's just one piece of the treatment plan. Definately not a magic bullet. I hate that my son has to take it. But the fact is that difficult child's medication gave him the ability to take advantage of all the non-medicine treatments (numerous), perform better in school, smooth out some social skills and positively respond to behavior mangement. You may recognize yourself in "Helping Parents Deal with the Fact That Their Child Has a Disability." [url]http://www.ldonline.org/article/5937[/url] But first, you need to know what you're dealing with. I'm a huge fan of multidisciplinary evaluations -- there's info on the FAQ/Board Help forum. While you're there, read about how to prepare a Parent Report -- they come in handy. When you're ready to tackle the school problems, visit the Special Education 101 forum -- it's another piece of the treatment plan. [/QUOTE]
