[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 125919, member: 2270"] Welcome, I am afraid I have more questions then answers. Is your son on medication? Has he ever been reevaluated since first diagnosis? Has school reevaluated him? Have they done a Functional Behavioral Assesment? Was the first diagnosis(diagnosis) by a multidisciplinary team? Does he have a BIP(behavior intervention plan) or just the IEP? I ask because if you know exactly what you are dealing with diagnosis wise, then you will be more ready to tell school what your son needs. Also medication can either hinder or help. When there is a change in medications there are differences(good or bad) in our difficult children. You can have school put it in IEP to watch for behavior changes during medication changes. Is the not passing standard tests due to not knowing how to take a test, trouble understanding the question wording, or the time factor? These are the questions I would be asking my child. You can better help them if you first get to the root cause of the problem. Is the not turning in homework due to forgetfulness, or prefectionism(he doesn't turn in because doesn't want to get any wrong), or something else? Depending on the root reasons, you would have different accomodations put in the IEP. As far as options, pretty much limitless, within reason. If it in not stepping on the schools or the other kids rights, then what your son needs should be done. Examples: Extra time on tests, "buddy" or helper to help remember materials for homework, use small electronic reminder for assignments, have a quiet place or go to person when aggitated or being bullied, etc. Hang in there.
