[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 221606, member: 2423"] Two things that have helped us: 1) A daily homework log kept by the parent(s) that includes date, subject matters, time homework took, whether the child completed the homework, any reactions by child (for example, meltdowns, getting up and down from seat), whether child brought all materials home, whether child had difficulty understanding concepts. This log demonstrates educational impact of the disability (in your case ADHD) that the school can't necessarily see. 2) A letter (our psychiatrists have called theirs "Psychiatric School Summary") written by the prescribing physician detailing clinical history, diagnosis, treatment (both medications and therapy) and school accommodations/services the doctor feels would be helpful to the child. Sometimes our psychiatrists have accompanied us to school meetings (obviously, we pay them for their time). We have also hired an educational advoctate to help us in the process because our school district tends not to want to give IEPs. Our advocate has always done a school observation (unbeknownst to the child) to see how the child is truly functioning in school. The advocate then writes a report that we also submit to the school. Good luck Tuesday. [/QUOTE]
