HELP! I have a meeting on Thursday

January 3, 2007

Happy New Year All!

My 8 yr old ds (3rd grade) has Aspergers, depression, and ADHD; we

have had the child study at school and they have found him elible to

receive services under " other ...? " -not LD or ED. Anyway, we are

having a meeting on Thursday to find out if he will have an IEP or a

504 plan. I am so confused about the whole thing. Can anyone tell

me what to expect, what to ask for, and what your child has.

Zachary's main problem is comprehending and the surrounding noises

when he takes tests and he always complains and sometimes can't even

sleep on Wed nights(the night before he has to read his written

paragraph to the class). It's kinda bad socially b/c he wants to be

friends with everyone but no one wants to. He is already having his

tests read to him in another class (of course, right across from the

music room) and he is seeing the counselor for group on social

skills and anger management. He is an all A and 1 B student but

gives us a real hard time with homework (especially math) and he

writes REAL BIG so everything can't fit but doesn't give the

teachers a prob at all-no behavior probs at school. Anyway, any

help would be appreciated. sorry so long
