[QUOTE="JustExhausted30, post: 148858, member: 5115"] My son does have a diagnosis of ADHD since age 5 and then bipolar disorder was added about a year ago. He is currently on Vyvanse 70 mg daily along with Seroquel 50 mg in the morning 50 mg at 3pm and 900 mg at 7pm. We have tried Abilify but it gave him terrible neck pain with stifness. He does have an IEP however he has been up for manifestation hearing once already this year and he is really lucky that they didn't put him up again with this episode he pulled especially being they charged him and he will now have to go to court and is now involved in the juvenile system. I really am disappointed with how this last situation was handled being that the assistant principal admitted to "being right in difficult child's face" screaming and yelling at him. Even went to the extent to tell difficult child "you look mighty angry difficult child... why don't you put your anger where your fist is and hit me":surprised1: So of course instead of difficult child making the right decision (to just keep his mouth shut) he told him well if I hit you I'd probably knock you out! So that is what got my son charged with a misdemeanor and they also threatened that he could have been chaged with a felony assault for "making a threat to hit a school administrator". I did make contact with the school board and the directed me to the principal of the school who basically put me on speaker phone with the assistant principal who did this and really nothing got done. I really don't know where to turn at this point as far as that whole situation goes. I really feel stuck in a hard place because at this point difficult child has over 40 referrals for the school year and I really believe if I press this issue they will just turn it around on him and make it seem justified. Who else can I turn to? As far as the private school goes it is supposedly a school for ADHD, ADD and SLD. His doctor highly recommends this school however I don't know any other parent that has a child there. I have called the school and I meet with them Tuesday.
