Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Pat, I have the same message from at the top of the chat page. I think added it since the chat room lawsuits and is covering their butts. When you use your computer your IP address is recorded and your computer and owner identified. I'm in chat now.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Well - first, do you have an official diagnosis for him? If not, see about getting him evaluated. If he already has a diagnosis, I would request to the school in writing that you want him evaluated for special education services to see if he qualifies for an IEP. In the letter you might also include reasons why you feel he needs an IEP, but could hold some of those reasons back until you actually talk to someone there. If you want an IEP, you can just leave that as your request in the letter. But you can also suggest seeing if he qualifies for an IEP or a 504 Plan. We have a 504 Plan for my son (16). He doesn't get any special education services, which requires the IEP, but the 504 Plan (also for people with disabilities) has accommodations and modifications he can use. My son is an A student, but still qualified as his OCD at the time was making his homework take way too long (if he could even attempt it some nights), he needed extended time for tests (OCD slowed him down), slowed his reading speed down, etc. So his " disability " was affecting his education in a negative way. Actually at OCD's worst, he would have failed without accommodations. But even when he was better, he needed the accommodations/mods to be able to keep up with class/learning, etc., due to reasons above. Hope this helps a bit! > > I need help getting my ocd child an iep > Thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm sorry I haven't taken the time to respond to your last post to me. One thing has me confused...you are homeschooling, your son does have a 504, but you are seeking an IEP for him? Is the 504 unsatisfactory, and if so why? Are you wanting to stop homeschooling him and send him to school once an IEP is in place?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hi Arlene, I wasn't being critical of how you wrote your post! You did a fine job. I just wanted to have a clear idea of what was going on before I gave suggestions/input :-) Bad advice is worse than no advice sometimes LOL First things first: I believe you need seek treatment for your child for OCD. This would be either a certain type of therapy (CBT/ERP--don't waste your time with any other types of therapy), or medication (SSRI, such as Prozac or Zoloft etc.), or both. Medication helped quite a bit but the therapy was what made the difference between " better " and " near cured " for my child, now 11. For therapy, you need a behavior therapist who is experienced in ERP for children with OCD. For evaluation, medication etc. you'll need a child psychiatrist. The U of W may be your best source for both, or referrals to good practitioners in your area. Getting your son's OCD, anxiety, and aggression under control will be a big part of his being able to return to school. My bet is the aggression is related to his anxiety and will dissipate as his OCD is brought under good control. The school accommodation issues are separate. You don't need a doctor's note or referral to request that your child be evaluated for an IEP, though a dx on a prescription form or letterhead from the doctor can lend credibility. You just call the school in your district and explain your situation, your son's various diagnoses, and ask that he be evaluated toward qualification for an IEP, and follow this up with a letter stating the same. The school by law must respond/take action within a certain amount of time. The evaluations are usually done by the school district's psychologist and consist of interviews and a number of paper and pencil tests to highlight difficulties your son may be having with anxiety, attention, and etc. Some parents pay to have these evaluations done privately. In any case, this whole process can take weeks to months, so since your son already has a 504 in place I suggest you talk with the counselor at the school about setting up a meeting to insert accommodations into this existing plan in order to facilitate him returning to school more quickly. As I read your post, your son has giftedness, OCD, and visual processing problems. It's not unusual at all for kids to have a number of brain-based issues. Any or all of these will most likely qualify him for an IEP under " other health impaired " designation. Medication and/or therapy can help your son with his angry violent outbursts when others break rules or cheat. Actually these are common OCD issues and many of us here have dealt with these in our children. You and he may be very surprised at how effective medication and/or therapy is for OCD and how quickly this seemingly huge problem may go away. If I've gone off the rails write again and let me know. I wish you the very best of luck in finding your way through this confusing and overwhelming time. It's plain you are a very good Mom and I know you will find the right path for your son.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Have you tried a tar based shampoo? My husband has psorisis and uses one with 5% tar. He also buys an ointment that is tar based that he puts on skin areas and rubs into his scalp. It makes a big difference when he uses it. My daughter also has dandruff issues and being AA it really shows so she uses the tar based shampoo..and lots of conditioner. LOL. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 ask your pediatrician. He/she might be able to prescribe a medicated shampoo.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I have something called Cholesterol (yep, just like the bad stuff) but it's a scalp and hair conditioner. he'll have to put it on and put a shower cap on though for a few minutes.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 OMG! I didn't know they still made this stuff. When I was a teen I went to visit my dad in Florida. His wife (at the time ) was a hair stylist. I had long hair and she said that this cholesterol was good to put on for the day at the beach. So, She greased me up and off we went to the beach for the day. Well, let me tell you that once this stuff is baked in-it doesn't come out!! Lol It took me days of shampooing to get it out! Lol Thanks for the memory and laugh to go along!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 We use Head & Shoulders " Dry Scalp " shampoo on Caty's. I'm not sure if you would consider her really dry scalp, but it helps her flakes. I can remember when I was a teenager using a tar smelling shampoo and it worked, but unfortunately I can't remember the name of it.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I have used the Cholesterol stuff, and it is good. My stylist gives me some every now and then, and I try to leave it on overnight. I have had good results. Sharon H.
