I'm brand new here so this may be a LONG post. I have a 12 year old daughter who was diagnosed with OCD in the first grade. While throughout these past few years she has had many flare-ups and complete meltdowns she has had no extra help accedemically or otherwise from the school. I asked more than a few times for her to be tested for a learning disability and testing was never done until this year. She had a servere meltdown around Nov.- Dec. and We went back to the dr. at the schools request. Again she was diagnosed with OCD and now ADD. She has been taking Prozac since her first visit. Her doctor The school finally tested her and let me know she did not have any learning disabillity, only very manipulative and she seeks attention. SHE"S ON PROZAC and she's twelve! Asked for a meeting with teachers to see if atleast she would be eligible for a 504 or some other help. By the way three of her classes have been modified since the start of the school year and she gets A's in them her three other classes are regular classes and she failling. Because of lack of effort on her part according to them. One teacher ecspecially likes to call her out on all her missteps and whatever else she feels my child is doing wrong. I have tried to be the bigger person and listen to everything they have to say, but at the meeting it was pretty obvious they were trying to intimidate me. They had not only the school psyciatrist but the counsler,all 4 6th gade teachers, ( one of which has nothing to do with my child), the nurse, and the principle. I went there in hopes of a program or extra help for my child and was told it was just her bad attitude, lack of effort, bad choice in friends that was holding her back. What do I do now? They all had smiles on thier faces and were very nice the whole time. I have never dealt with anything like this. Any input would help so much.
Thanks,
Christy |
