[QUOTE="jlsanchez08, post: 400364"] Here is an update and a few comments/replies: At the last meeting she was allowed to help the others before the medications wore off because she was actually tying the knots better than the adults (I think it was the tiny little fingers being able to tie what little string was left :-)). DaisyFace - Trust me the original meetings were to be scheduled on Sunday's and were led by another troop leader but since she is suppose to go with my ex on his weekends (even though he only takes the kids when he feels like it, and that is not often) he would not allow her to go to scouts and since there was not another troop for her to join, I ended up starting a troop so that she could be in it like she wanted. My ex being a &^%# (not so nice person) leaves the weekends out of the question. Update: She will stay on her regular medication that she has already been taking since her meals seem to be in perfect timing with when the medications wear off so she still have her full appetite and she will just take a very low dose of the same medication but in a short release pill in the evenings. We can either give her the pill in the evening or not, just depends on if she is having to go somewhere or do something (or if she is just having an overly aggressive day) but she won't have to take it every day unless it is actually necessary. She has also been chosen to do the anger management counseling sessions at school which will probably help out some too. On another subject, I just got the phone call that she is going to be evaluated by the speech therapist for the school district and they have moved her up a tier in math and reading so she will be getting more help there too. If she can be put into speech she will actually have ARD meetings and 504 meetings and not just have us fighting a constant battle of trying to get her the help she needs since her ADHD/ODD does not qualify her for anything no matter how far behind she was/is. Thank you for all of the comments/help! I will keep you updated! [/QUOTE]
