[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was me as an unmedicated ADHD kid. It is the teacher’s job to ensure a functional learning environment for the entire class. It is your job to help him reframe the arrangement into a positive and mitigate the harm to his self esteem. [b]You can’t expect the teacher to sacrifice other children’s learning for him[/b]. That’s not fair or reasonable to anyone.[/quote]

That's the whole point of FAPE. He just needs the diagnosis. [/quote]

An IEP can get the child goals , but does not allow the child to just disrupt others all day.[/quote]

lol. For ADHD, that's exactly what it does [/quote]

DP.  In this case, preferential/low-distraction seating will be written in as an accommodation, which would allow the teacher to seat the child in a place that will minimize distraction/disruption to everyone.

Bigger picture, OP, you cannot expect the teacher to allow your child to disrupt the class with impunity.  If you get him moved back to his prior seat, he will just get disciplined openly in front of his peers for being disruptive, which will be just as detrimental to his self-esteem.  You need to get a handle on why the behavior is happening and how it can be addressed constructively. Your 6 yo is no longer the center of the universe, and you cannot expect him to be. [/quote]
