Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Deborah, I have a 16 yr sophomore daughter diagnosed about 7 months ago w/ ocd. She is now on her 3rd meds and is in therapy. School is very hard for her especially since her senior sister has a 3.8 or better. My 16 yr old is very athletic and awesome in things of her own, but she doesn't see that. She has a B average. We talked w/ counselors at school and got her on the " 504 " plan under the " American Disabilites Act " . Any school federally funded has to provide this or they will be sued. It is not classified as special ed or resource. They provide accomodations made especially for her in her regular classes. Tests in the library with more time. She only has to turn in 1/2 the work and gets extra credit for what she does above and beyond. She is on 100 mg zoloft and .5 klonopin. Still has compulsions and teen behaviour which is hard to decide on sometimes. I have been going thru quite a grief period myself. Very depressed and up and down with her highs and lows. I feel I have almost gone crazy. I want the daughter back that we had. Well we have to adjust and some days will be harder than others. I am learning not to baby her and let her get over some of the sad times so she doesn't use them against mom. All in all it becomes a routine and you know when things are bad they turn on a dime.
