I know the Psyciatrist that I have has a specific form for parents/teachers to fill out so he can get a feel how the meds are working....

My son is in a 3rd grade mainstream class.. he gets assorted pull out services but today I sent his teacher a note that said, in part :

"Can you give me a good idea of how Max is doing during class lessons? Is he following along? participating? doing his work? I saw the form that was sent back to the pediatrician and it appeared that the only issue is the problem with transitions. The last time the psychologist who evaluates for the NEST program sat in on the class, she told me that he needed a lot of prodding to get through a lesson -- that he was unfocused and seemed lost. This is problematic - particularly since he's taking meds to assist him in this regard and I'm trying to do whatever we can to help him. I need very specific feedback so we know if he's on the right or wrong meds and/or

dose."

This is her reply :

In regards to Max's progress in the classroom. I am assisting Max during lessons and independent work on a daily basis. However, Max's progress depends upon how accepting he is of my assistance.

Could this be any more vague????!!! ! I feel like a can't get a straight answer from this woman to save myself.

Does anyone have a form that a teacher can easily complete giving real feedback on their child's progress in school?Thanks!

,

Is there a reason why you can't have a meeting with the teacher? At least a

phone call conversation. Forms are great tools for documentation and data

collection, but something more personal may be more helpful for you.

The teacher's response was poor since you even asked for very specific feedback.

You need more from the teacher and you deserve it. You are doing everything on

your part for your child's education, now the schools have to do theirs. Make

them accountable.

Sounds like a lot of info to me. I would guess she is helping him but she is frustrated about that. Ask for a meeting to sit down and go over his work and how everything is working for him.

As for forms, you can design your own! Make it specific to the goals and make the answers able to be checked or easy one or two word replies. Data forms are a great idea.
