[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 26367, member: 84"] I got the evaluations for my difficult children on my own, neuro neuro-psychiatric and psychiatrist (MD). The school did some evaluations, well they said they did.... But seemed they were looking for more of a "is your child a teaching/classroom problem" than is their a disorder going on with this child. My T was never a problem for the school so they wanted to believe he was perfectly normal. Take a look at his dxes in my signature. Although I did finally manage to get him an IEP, the SD and I battled until the day he graduated for services and to keep that IEP in place. They still wanted to believe he was normal. My N wasn't a problem at school til about jr high. School asked me to get her an IEP. School was actively involved in getting her dxes and working with her disorders. (although again I used my own psychiatrists and such) N was defiant with teachers and violent with students who happened to encounter her during her mood swings. School couldn't have been more helpful. They were angry I wouldn't get her an IEP, and eventually went to homeschooling when she was 16. (homeschooling is her niche) I'd let the school do their evaluations if they want. But I'd also do your own with your own professionals to make sure dxes are accurate and treatment is appropriate. Unstable or off medications and N can switch moods in the blink of an eye without any warning. She can be violent and raging one minute and the next smiling or laughing and wondering why people are being stand-offish to her. This could happen once every few days, or constantly throughout the day. Rages could last hours. It only got worse as she got older. [/QUOTE]
