Need Advice on the next step
I have a 9yr old son who has been giving me problems since he was 5 yrs old. He has an IEP, first they labeled him emotional disturb than they labeled him adhd with impulsive. I have lost 2 jobs just to make sure that he is being treated fairly in his school. Yet i have seen that the school staff itself and the Principal has giving up on him. Often times they have came up to me and said they just don't know what to do with him to help him. He's one of the best readers and mathematician in his class. he is involved with church actives and mentoring actives they all have told me he is a wonderful child. I know that it is because of the sett9ing. the Principal or guidance counselor have any suggestions. The PSY. of the place a behavioral; plan in place for him. but yet he needs more. he is on concerta 56 mg, having been on other drugs. He is a very bright boy yet needs constant redirection and in which frustrates him and causes him to feel he must defend himself not hitting but just walking away or just shutting down all together. He is a b average student,basketball ans soccer teams is two of his favorite activates. But he just does not seem to feel accepted and everyday he struggles with different attitudes from students, teachers and has lost many friends. They have told me that the next step is district 75 and thou i am not saying that dis. 75 is bad, it is to restrictive for him. what should i do? I love my son and know that he is capable of achieving great things.
