[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Now she’s just irate. Not about the diagnoses, but about the suggested accommodations. I asked if she is afraid of standing out, perhaps this is just too embarrassing and I also wonder if her anxiety is running the show right now, but she says that is none of that the case so I let it drop for now. She said that none of the suggested accommodations will help and that they’re all “stupid.” She is mad at me. Mad at the situation. Mad at the school. Just…mad at the world.

What do we do if she dos attend and then tells the school that none of the suggested accommodations will help? Will they deny the 504 plan? I can very clearly see how they would help her and I get the sense that her counselor does, too. What if she comes around to finally seeing that her teachers actually want to support her, but she won’t cooperate with the plan - will it be too late to get support if her attitude and acceptance of the situation changes later on? She’s not on medication; the psychiatrist appointment is also coming up soon and while I don’t know what they will recommend, the psychologist says that kids like her most typically need and greatly benefit from medication.

I’m feeling at a loss here and somehow like I’m a horribly crappy parent who doesn’t know how to help with kid. Anyone else face similar with their teen? Would love to learn from others. Thank you [/quote]
