Irena, do I recall right that you were declining to have your DS evaluated for ADHD? I would look into it, in your shoes. If teachers complain about ADHD, they're not always right-- but there is usually *something* going on that can be improved.
No, I did not decline. The school actually did an eval last year this time. He came up as "at risk" for attention by teacher on the BASQ. Otherwise nothing was really accomplished or discovered. I am n the process of getting an eval for him at ADHD center privately but it takes a while to get the eval. But, we are pursuing an eval for this - it's just still in the works and will be for awhile.
I would share only the strategies I would think have a good chance of being effective. But honestly, I would rather call a meeting at school and work out a plan as a team than be feeding the teachers strategies individually.
My strategy would be to contact teacher and principal in a single email and request a meeting with all relevant staff to discuss the teacher's findings. Does your DS already have an IEP or 504? If so, it can be a meeting to amend/refine the existing plan. If not, it can be an RTI meeting.
You're right - this sounds like what I should do, actually. Yes he already has an iep.
