[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 198413, member: 5975"] I agree. Get him an IEP. All you need to do is submit a letter asking for an Independent Education Plan. ADD is a covered condition, so it shouldn't be that hard to get one. Good luck! I know how hard all of this is. I just had my first IEP meeting last week. I had to be everything that I am not, organized, aggressive and clinical. The biggest bit of advice I have to to submit everything in writing, log all conversations, and keep a copy of everything in a binder. Oh, and maybe see if there is a local support group that helps parents deal with getting IEPs for their child. A great book is "The Complete IEP Guide: How to Advocate for Your Special Education Child" by Lawrence M. Siegel. It takes you through it step-by-step, and even cites all the laws. I took a highlighter to the laws & dog-eared them in anticipation of what they might try to get out of giving me. And that thing about your son's ear is just NOT cool. I would complain to the teacher about it, and make sure that [I]something[/I] is done. [/QUOTE]
