[QUOTE="buddy, post: 486980, member: 12886"] Here is a problem I see with your teacher being "nice" and giving a n "a' in conduct...... there is no evidence on paper that he needs the iEP. You do not want to wait till highschool to have to fight for this. right now the fact is, grades dont matter in life. they will not affect his employment in the future. She needs to be honest. YOu need documentation that shows that he is struggling as he REALLY is. It is great that she is trying to be understanding and you can google accomodations for ADHD, 504 plans for adhd, IEP for adhd, etc. and get lots of ideas. Bottom line, he needs formal accomodations and as we told you before, no matter what they told you, if his disability is interfering with school, even socially, then he is entitled to protection/accomodations/support under the law, including an IEP. If you do not formally write a letter to request an assessment, then this could go on for years. And one important part you will need is a request for an FBA (functional behavior analysis) which will identify the triggers/antecedents to the behaviors and the motivations for behaviors and then they need to develop a Positive Behavior plan, which giving bad grades is not.... He needs to learn the skills that are making it difficult to do the behaviors, he needs things broken up in chunks so he does not have so much to pay attention to.... there are many many accomodations, depending on his skill deficits and triggers. The point things need to be building skills not punishing out poor behaviors. Sorry you are going thru this with a school that is being such poops. But you can do something about it. It is not fun, I admit. But if you wait, you may have an angry, depressed, frustrated kid who could give up . HUGE hugs to you! I know it is so not easy and hurts to know your kid is not able to do what he needs to do. [/QUOTE]
