[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 494778, member: 8831"] thanks everyone--that helped immensely. her iep is on the generic side, since we had a natural district change and the PLAN was to call a meeting a month in...of course that PLAN changed because there was "no real need" since she had "an amazingly good transition" and was "academically shining" so i let it go---hey, i was [I]hoping[/I] the change was a great thing and life would be better. oh, and did i mention said meeting calling counselor called me in the beginning of december looking to discharge her aide (who is useless) since she was doing so well?? she does have modified assignments, extra time, reduced written work, yada yada--none of which have been done, or needed to be. like i said, this is the first real massive assignment of the year and i had no idea this was something they do at this level. the assignment is already broken down into chunks which is good (packet is around 20 pages long!)--the subject matter is what it is, and no, they havent learned the "parts" even yet--so she sees 25 notecards and bibligraphies, and outlines and typed paper and on and on and probably picked up on my WTF anxiety and well, there you go. i love the idea to put in writing that the subject is irrelevent...actually, the topic she wanted to change to probably would have been a uni-level paper if she could find the resources to back it up, lol...and she'd be wayyyy more motivated. apparently todays issue was more of a "shiny things syndrome"....it was her first time in the library and she felt the need to check it out instead of paying attention to todays lesson (sigh, already behind). she did say she "couldnt help herself" and knows she did the wrong thing....but in the course of getting in trouble over it..... SHE ASKED TO GO TO THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR. :happydance: thats pretty gigantic for her. GINORMOUS in fact....she had to use her skills to do it, and while she was angry, didnt burst out crying in the library...she waited til she got there. (sidenote: i asked if he helped her and she said not really. she said "i was trying to tell him stuff" (HUGE) and all he kept saying was "the world does not revolve around you"....:headdesk: ) so...i've taken a deep breath until friday's meeting. i've decided its all probably situational anxiety/overwhelmed stuff right now. i'll talk to the psychiatrist tomorrow, but my gut is saying we need to stay the course and wait until all this school stuff passes and then decide if its a medication issue--these whole two weeks are out of the ordinary, Know what I mean?? it always helps to come here. your perspectives help a ton. sometimes its hard to see clearly when i'm so close to the situation---i spend my own anxious hours turning over every stupid thing of the last two weeks--difficult child stuff/typical teen stuff/medication stuff/school stuff--i'm lucky my own head didnt explode, LOL. so you guys are the best!
