[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 7633, member: 1722"] Hi. I'm not too knowledgeable, but I did want to give some advice I'm pretty confident about. First, you are now officially your child's education advocate. You must be willing to go to the mat if necessary to ensure your child's rights aren't violated. Second, did you request the evaluation from the school in writing & send it certified mail? That's the best way because then they must set up the evaluation within a designated time frame. Third, you want to get your son an IEP so that he will have educational supports and some protections due to his ADHD. And fourth, you want him to have a BIP so that the adults will all be on the same page regarding behavioral infractions at school. There's a post at the top of this forum which defines some of the more common acronyms used in special education. Also, check out the archives for some useful info. [/QUOTE]
