[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 33868, member: 2322"] Smallworld, so the issue seems to be that you want the 504 for the public schools even this year. In that case, I would go for it, as someone said, you don't know for sure where she will be until September rolls around. I don't think you need to worry about disclosing your thoughts for next year. Suppose she hates the school after two months? Second, given the accommodations you want, it shouldn't be a big stuggle, though knowing your county it probably will be. We're about the same here. Oldest is at least attending school each day (only for his academic subjects) which is better than the last two years. Lamictal has really made a difference, as had a friend of his moving in down the road from us. We still have a long way to go to get him engaged in school, but it is not the constant battle and he seems to be doing some work. Seems like the biggest issue is how much of a fight do you want to wage. Youngest is still having fits as we say here. If something isn't right he falls apart, blames us etc. We d/c focalin because of greater aggression it seemed, we upped abilify from 5 to 7.5 but tics worsened, so we went back, now we are to 750 mg Trileptal which seems to help a bit at least on reducing the intensity of the meltdowns. Poor kid is still struggling in school, but we hired a tutor who is great who works with him 3 days a week to get his homework done. So at least he is making some academic progress. We may reopen the IEP discussion next year when he moves to middle school (we have 5-8 middle school due to space constaints at elementary school). So that's it in a nutshell. Sounds like you still have some worries about schooling on your hands. glad to hear easy child is doing better. That was scary. C. [/QUOTE]
