[QUOTE="M34, post: 586223"] You have all asked about an IEP. The answer is no. I have been trying to do this since the beginning of the school year. Before I go any further, I want to say that I have been frustrated with the school for many years now. I would not ask them for a drink of water if I was thirsty. I have asked them for an IEP and the they say that in their testing that he scores in the normal range and does not qualify. They tested him for special education, but after reading some of these posts and listening to some others talk, I get the feeling that I am not asking the right questions. Does anyone have any advice on what I should be asking for? As far as the diagnosis--I have those from actual docs (although not a neuropsychologist). I would have never asked the school to have him mentally evaluated (see previous statement about how I feel about school). Some have mentioned that writing things down is a good tool and I feel the same way. I guess the concern is the extreme nature of what he wrote. Everyone in his family has told him to write things down instead of acting out and he did just that. I also have the items that he would use to cause harm locked up where he can't get to them. He does good with his current medications. And some of you mention intervention. Is that the question that I should be asking for an IEP? [/QUOTE]
