[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry if this isn’t helpful but I can empathize and agree with proceeding with the 504 plan. Push back on repeating 8th grade. I don’t have experience with your school though. The end of 8th grade is when everything really ramped up with my son’s ADHD and impulsivity. 9th and the first half of 10th were really bad and there were times I was worried he wouldn’t graduate. He’s smart but the focus was a mess and he seemed so unregulated, no matter what we tried. Of course, this time period also was the time of puberty and a period of intensive physical growth and changes. Things are much better now in every aspect of life going into junior year. Keep trying things, be your kid’s advocate at school while trying to teach them strategies for independence and try to remember the teen years are a wild ride for many with or without special needs.
