[QUOTE="ihavehadit, post: 247840, member: 6881"] Hi [URL="http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/member.php?u=5418"]Wonderful Family[/URL], I know this might be a long shot. We have one adult child now with ODD and our other has ADHD. Our d with ODD, was in public school all her life. We did not find out her problem until she was 16 and 17 years old. So she made it through school. Only when she was 17 and after she was hit by a car, was when we really started to have problems. But our ADHD son, had to problems in school as what you are talking about. That IEP or even the 504 plan is a laugh in the face. Yes they are there to help that child through school. But it only will help when the teachers and other school personal's obey the IEP and 504 plans. If they don't, it don't help what so ever. Now, I will state if you can get him on a 504 Plan and it is not obey by the teachers or school personal you can sue the system. 504 Plan is supported by the federal civil rights law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A 504 Plan is to be provided in programs that receive federal funds, such as public schools. So if you can get your child on the 504 plan and the system don't obey what in written to help your child. You can sue the teacher and school system, for braking the law. We went through this with our DS when he was in Jr high. We gave up on the system, when we found out he could not read and write. Not even his full name. (what upset us the most, is he could read and write "even his full name" when we put him in school. But over the years of not being taught he forgot how) So we asked for the DS to be level tested, to find out what grade level he was on, on all subjects. He was in the 5th grade, on a 1.3 grade point level writing, 2.4 grade point level reading, 2.5 grade point level on all other subjects. We then made up our made to help our DS. So we turned in a Intent to Home School letter to the Board of Education in the county. We then started home schooling our DS. With in 18 months, we had him above his grade level (he was 6th grade but then he was on a 8.2 grade point level) He did very well at home, he loved to learn at his own pace. When he got to where he could not seat still, he was allowed to go outside to play. To wear off the high energy to where he could seat back down and finish his work. If he could not get the energy wore down, no problem school closed for the day. Well, he thought. We then went to the store.

But hey, he still loves to go to the store, great life skills I taught him, that he will live with for the rest of his life. [U][B] So my question is this;[/B][/U] Have you thought about Home Schooling your Son? YOu could teach everything he needs to know, plus more. Like life skills, they don't get much of in school. Our son, is doing very well with his home school life. He has a wonderful job, has bought his own cars with his own money. (first car was getting to old and cost to much to fix when need it. Second car, he loved only had 3 weeks, old man hit him head on total car. Third car, he is driving now same as the old car. Loves it even more (this one has extras in it) ) Our daughter had her car given to her. Opps, we learn a lesson there. she don't take care of her car. Where he does, he bought it and knows what it cost to buy another one. He has a more sense of money, then most young people. That was part of his life skill, that is not taught in the system. Some of the kids his age, that he knows. Can't figure out, how he knows this or that, they were never taught that in school.

He had a wonderful job just two months after his schooling was done. (oh yea, the year after we grad him, he went to tech school for computer building and repair skill). So now he has a wonderful computer job. And believe me: for his first 8 or 9 years of life. We always thought he would be our child in jail all the time. Well, he showed us wrong. he causes us no problems and live up to what he says. That reminds me, I need to wake him. He needs to run to the bank before going to work. Bank here closes at 2pm. Well, I need to stop writing and sign off line to go to the store. If I don't I won't never make it. Do add up what you can do and think about Home Schooling. Science can be done in Kitchen with cooking. We done it here, had fun mixing chemical's and coming up with something that is good to eat. Hard tack candy is one. Chemicals can be ordanary items in the kitchen. Lots of fun. History can be living history. Or son even work a living history each summer for 3 summers. He learned so much from that. (visit living history programs. also make your own living history at home. It is fun to learn what it was like back way then.) math, is every where and so is reading and writing. it is not hard to teach at home, find a home school group in the area and visit their meetings. You can borrow books from other home schoolars or buy your own. Ok, now I am going good day [/QUOTE]
