[quote=Anonymous]my 12 year old has had a 504 for anxiety since she was in K. It allows her to have untimed testing and basically ensures the teachers pay attention to her - she is quiet and well-behaved and could easily fall under the radar. I like that we get regular check-ins (though i have to push a bit) with the school counselor. She got an official diagnosis of anxiety with some OCD back in K. It has gone up and down since then and now we are starting Zoloft. Also neuropsych testing was super helpful because it helped hone in on where the anxiety was impeding her performance (speed work was the major area). I would recommend a 504 for mental health issues!  As to the PP, YES! my 6 year old was so anxious, poor thing. She would wash her hands all the time and couldn't ever be on a separate floor than us. And became very withdrawn at times. Other times she is great and fun and engaged but there were these really anxious, troubled sides to her that got in the way of her life and functioning (joy as well as school performance). I would recommend a good therapist or maybe just go straight  to a good psychiatrist. [/quote]
