OK so I got easy child in to the doctor and had them fill out the paper the school provided so that they could get started on accomodations. I also finally got the doctor to provide her something prescription for insomnia so she started clonidine a while back. It seems to be helping most nights which is a blessing.
Not sure how fast the school will be on the accomodations but in the mean time I am working on getting the neuropsychologist testing done. We have a couple of University Hospitals within a few hours so I am hoping to get her in to one of those.
I also got her doctor to write her a note that she is allowed to take Motrin as needed at school since she has been having migraines and missing school. He also wrote the school a note that will allow her to miss for migraines without us getting harassed about too many absences. Last but not least he wrote a note for her to take her Concerta at school. She doesn't want to take her medicine at school and has actually been doing well with it right now and hasn't missed any doses (we counted). I hate leaving it up to her because she tends to start forgetting but maybe I can check it once a week and if I see too many pills make her take it in.
She is now attending after school tutoring and hopefully that will help as well as whatever they come up with.
I feel like for once I am being more effective and proactive. What else should I do? Any advice?
