[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 66927"] keep fighting for him. Research, read and be sure the SD is following the laws. difficult child's psychiatrist said at our last appointment. that he really isn't convinced difficult child has bipolar, however schools have a hard time recognizing ODD as a real disorder (hah...live with it, then tell me it's not real). so, I believe psychiatrist is putting bipolar down so difficult child can get the most benefits from the school district. I do insist on psychological testing from school. That was done the end of last year. Same as you, nothing we didn't already know. Just good to have on paper, especially on his IEP. It helps him. I do know if I wouldn't of researched the laws, and fought for difficult child..he would be in a heep of trouble right now. School doesn't offer any info, once you know the laws the SD is much more cooperative. It is a lot of work. But Sammy is worth it. Don't give in to SD..Keep fighting. There were times I though I was all fought out, was ready to just let them do what they wanted. But I kept on fighting. I saw things happening that would set of a non-difficult child. That will not ever happen again. I can guarantee that. Visit the classroom often, listen to Sammy. Things go on that the kids think is just the way it is done, when it is NOT the way it is done and they need you. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
