[QUOTE="aslmovies, post: 115490, member: 4502"] My son is AD/HD and I had him diagnosed by my family doctor. He is receiving services from the school. I'm not trying to be tacky, but why would you trust the school to diagnose your child? With all the challenges you are facing with them, why would you trust them? Take your child to your family doctor. Get the diagnosis, that gives you leverage. Without a "LABEL" (ex. ADHD, autism, etc.), the school will not do anything. I understand your delima, my daughter is Asperger's syndrome. She was in a contained classroom until the 1st grade and had a full time aid until 5th and now she is 17, no aid, and is completely mainstreamed. Always make sure you keep some service even if it is just speech, because if that door ever closes it almost never closes. To accomplish all these things you have to stay diligent, consistant and always remember this phrase: "My child is guaranteed a free education on an individual basis" not according to anyother child. The school told me that they didn't have the money for my daughter a full time aid and I very calmly told them that that's not my problem and they will figure something out. They also told me that no other student has a full time aid and I, again very calmly, quoted "My child is guaranteed a free education on an individual basis." In the end it is your decision, but keep in mind what's at stake. [/QUOTE]
