[QUOTE="keista, post: 431819, member: 11965"] If she has ADHD, It is my understanding that that alone will get you at least a 504 plan. I'm definitely not an expert in the area (struggle with my own all the time) But I don't see how a child who spends so much time acting out and in the principal's office wouldn't be struggling academically. There is also another plan - I don't know what it's called exactly - that can just focus on behavior and implementing a different discipline approach since, obviously, this is not working. You can talk to the guidance counselor at the school, and ask what your options are. Many schools are gunshy about even hinting about problems and diagnosis's. Offering IEP or 504 information can be construed as them making the diagnosis so they wait for you to ask. You can also try finding parent support groups in your area and see what assistance and resources they have. More members should stop by and offer their insights. If not, try posting in the General Parenting or the Special Education 101 forums. [/QUOTE]
