ADHD combined and PDD_NOS Posted: 04-12-08 19:45pm
ok well now i have more info on my son but
im still at a loss as to what to do to
help him and get the school to cooperate
in order to help him as well.
So at his appt friday they the
dr/therepist gave me a letter for the
school phsycologist (we have a meeting
with him tuesday for an IEP)
ADHD combined type
PDD_NOS=pervasive developmental
disorder-not otherwise specified
he shows signs of both inattention and
hyperactivity
with difficulty sustaining attention on
tasks
exhibits pervasive impairment in social
interaction and verbal skills
does not maintain eye contact
engages in repetitive rituals and
movements hasdelayed verbal skills without
using another method of communication
difficulty interpreting social cues in his
environment
understand anything??? cause im still
confused bigtime
im just sooo frustrated it has been a very
long battle for my son and im afraid it
wont get any easier for him
Have they not assessed him for Autism? I
thought you mentioned something about
that.
Candita, how old is he again?
An IEP(Individualized Education Program)
will help specify his needs & outline
problematic areas. This helps the school
place him in a programme focused on his
needs.
Jordan has an IEP, and it's helped
immensely!
he has an iep and he has autism spectrum
disorder along with the rest
the school told my husband and I that
jared would have an aid with him this year
but he hasnt had one at all and they are
trying to kick him out so we are fighting
them over it.they want us to pull him this
year and place him again next year so they
dont have to deal with him (his teacher
doesnt want to deal with him)
they have done 3 iep without my pressence
so i told them i am requesting one with me
present . i found out that they are not
supposed to do this with out me go fig so
now im trying to gather as much info as
pos to take with me tuesday into this
meeting and fight with them cause im tired
of all the crap with them
thank you i will im just soo upset about
this he has worked so hard and come so far
only for his teacher and principle to
treat him like this

Sorry hun, I don't really understand any
of that, it just goes right over my head.
I just wanted to tell you that I'm praying
for you and your little boy. I really hope
you are able to get him in with a program
that will help him overcome everything.
thank you it means alot to me that i have
all of you guys for support it has been a
verry hard day today with him and nothing
seems to be alright im soo tired and just
exhasted from crying so much i feel like
the worst mom ever like it is my fault he
is like this i mean i know there was
nothing that i did to cause this but i
just feel like it
I can definitely feel your pain, Candita.
You have to remember that YOU did nothing
wrong. It's not your "fault". Just keep
being the mother you are, and just know
that there are always ppl out there that
can relate and offer the support you need.
thank you its just at times very
overwhelming i feel like im burning a
candel at both ends

Oh no, they are not supposed to do an IEP
meeting without contacting you first. In
fact, YOU have to sign ALL the IEP
paperwork. So def. look into a meeting
with YOU present. Stand your ground also
(I know it is hard), but you are the
parent and they are there to help you
(even though they'll fight it).
They can not kick your child out. You can
threaten them with the American's with
disabilities act. Your child is PROTECTED
because he has an IEP and is now
considered within the school system to be
disabled.
Good luck!

If you get no where with the school, hire
an attorney. This is a serious violation.
My sons have IEP's. Never is there a
meeting or discussion without my presence.
That is not to say they are always
compliant with the IEP and the needs of my
children but they do follow the law.
You should be given a sheet with the
rights your son has within the school
system and how the school must comply.
Make sure you get this.
Have you been to any support group in your
area? You are truly overwhelmed and need
the outlet. Many parents have walked the
path you are on and can guide you along
the way. Google search for a support group
in your area. Some support groups even
have legal advisors to help parents with
the more complicated issues or help when a
school refuses to comply. There may be
parents that can tell you how to deal with
the school on your own.
Keep us up to date. We are here for you.

I have had to fight with my sons school as
well. My advice is keep fighting. We
have been there and we support you. Let
us know how everything goes. Good luck.
