[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 125933, member: 4570"] Hi Sara, I will do my best to answer all your questions. Yes, he is on 40mg of Medtadate. We have been through may different medicines and this is the only one he seems to tolerate. He has not had any new tests with doctors since his original dianosis in first grade as ADHD. I honestly am not sure what other tests I should get for him and from which kind of doctor. Are you able to offer me suggestions on this?? He has had two reevaluations (not sure right terminology) and that qualified him for IEP. His IQ was originally tested (first grade) as 85. When retested in 5th grade it was 100. I went to Learning RX and had testing done (I do not recall the name of the test) and it should him deficient in all 25 catagories except audio learning. He is four years ahead of his age in this. I asked his Special Education teacher what exactly his learning disability is. She looked at the paper work and said there isn't one. He is considered "working under potential". She did mention that he is an audio learner and scored very high there. We have tried and tried to ask our son why he doesn't turn in his homework, write the assignments off the board, etc...etc..etc. The problem we have is that he will not or can not tell us why. This causes a lot of frustration for the teachers. His math teacher has called me to tell me she is so frusturated because she offers him help, even peer help and he flat out refuses. We have been working with him so much since first grade to try and help him. He has had the same tutor (she is a Special Education aide for over 20 years) and I work with him hours every night. This last report card he received 4 C's and two B's. I am concerned because each year he slips in percentil (currently below 10%) each year. Basically I feel the school thinks it is just something my son will need to figure out and take responsiblity for. BUT it is not happening and I do not know what else to do to help him. I appreciate your help....thankyou so much [/QUOTE]
