[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 583371, member: 15473"] The difficult child wont be going but the youngest will. The cutting only happened once about 6 months ago after a big fight with difficult child. The eating issue is mainly that she eats too much when she is bored or depressed its not anorexia or anything like that. She just gains weight which no girl likes. The biggest issue is with her anxiety but other than having issues at school with grades the anxiety is well under control. She suffers from seasonal depression, best we can guess, because during the winter she puts on weight and tends to not want to interact with people as much. We dont have major outbursts or meltdowns and other than the one time when she cut herself we have never had any concerns except with school work. All in all she sees a therapist once every 3 weeks for an hour, takes Concerta for ADHD and has no other accomodations. We are simply hoping to add an accomodation at school for her to get assistance getting her work together and turned in and with math. She is a wonderful kid, the teachers love her, she has great friends, and she is very smart. The only issue she has is with turning things in and with Math where she struggles. Of course the teachers have placed her in the highest math class because she tests well but then they have no problem with letting her fail in the class and don't offer any suggestions or help. I have repeatedly asked in town/school about tutors and they don't seem to have any. (Podunk town) With her only needs being twice a year medications checks and therapist every 3 weeks we can go anywhere. Even with school accomodations we can go anywhere. Problem is if some moron Dr here puts down she needs to see the neuropsychologist monthly then we are screwed. You and I know that kids don't see a neuropsychologist monthly but if the Dr writes that on the paper then attempting to apply common sense will not help. Trust me we fought them for weeks last time because the dr filled the form out requesting weekly therapist appts for me. I was only going weekly for 3 weeks due to a stressful situation at home. Normally I went once a month or less, basically as needed. Of course by the time the fight was over and we won it didn't matter his error cost us the dream assignment we have wanted for 14 years. Its not that I am worried about getting the perfect assignment, we already lost our one shot at that, I just hate to go through all that in order to get a legitimate diagnosis. Seriously how hard is it for the school to see she is failing and needs assistance. But without some form from a Dr they dont care and wont assist. It sucks this year and hurts her self esteem. I really dont want her to move to a new school and get lost in the shuffle again. She is 13 now and at that age where failing takes a real toll on them [/QUOTE]
