[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 233973, member: 6271"] The school office has the forms to request the testing for IEP quaification. you ask for it and they are required to give it to you. They will. If they for some reason do not contact the superintents office for your district and say that you asked for this and you want the form as soon as possible. There is a booklet or a pamphlet they also will have at the school that has alot of information that you will later recieve at each meeting with the IEP or 504 meeting to follow. Read it thoroughly. Feel free to call the school district and DOE anytime you wish and speak with the district and state heads. Your childs needs and what are solutions for this are important and you will learn alot. I found these people were more than helpful and over the years have been there been there been there. When parents give a @#%$ their job is SO MUCH EASIER. Your pro-active pursute of what your child needs to learn is music to their ears. (if you are not so lucky it is still THEIR JOB) On one hand for young children integrating into school is something that teachers are clearly doing. Allowing a child to withdraw under a desk or into a tent in the classroom is actually a very thoughtful teacher, I think. this is why I think that. Young children who are not adjusting to the stymulation of the demands of a classroom, but are not rejected either, are given the oppertunity to take in the routeen and have space, too. The simple reward system is very good as well as it is action possitive and allows this reluctant child to be encouraged to do what is desired from him and recieve possitive attention: a reward point, bean, star, ect. The lack luster child psyciatrist meeting your child for the first time is primarily establishing a non-threatening environment for a child patient. Taking a nuetral stance seems to me to be a shrewed tactic given this child has shown himself to be highly reactive to change. Attention deficiet Hyperactivity Disorder was once call kinetic....currently there is discussion going to change the diagnosis again to "impulse disorder" It is the frontal lobe that acts as the filter for impulses and is the part of the brain that considers what to do BEFOR doing it. The high jix your child has adopted at home: the acting out and the whinning and the wildchild unwilling to go out the house are the kinds of behavior that a youngster learns to protect themself from the demands of a parent. It is like the infant who learns to get their needs met by crying really really really hard and loud and then for the slightest need goes directly to the cry that works the fastest. I have yet to read Explosive Child, i want to , I will first chance I get. One book I did read and offers some great tips for families with differant types of people is "The Spirited Child" in which the lessons for how to help the jouney includes meathods for preparing a child for what is on the agenda today and giving them the time and oppertunity to adjust and learn to plan how to make the transitions with your help. Another title that has served me well is 'Help my special needs child" which is all about the language used in the iep and around the child who has learning issues that are unique to them. The behavior you are sharing about is actually showing that your child does learn. In fact he is creative and effective. Your job as a parent is to act to give him the self control tools to feel safe with the world around him and engage in this life appropriately and with confidence. To do that you have to learn to be there for him differantly than with a child who models his behavior after the templet of others. That is the guenious of adhd thinkers you are tangling with. They are very quick learners. Hense although he is six and you are a mature adult he is the controlling factor around which your family is tethered like a horse. You are on the right track, though. Out number him, out wit him, get down deep into the details that are true to his nature and you will turn his life around with the care and love and struggle that HEllen KEllers teachers enjoyed. It is a journey and it is so so worth it. [/QUOTE]
