[quote=Anonymous]At age 7 can't you still get a 504 or IEP under developmental delay? 
I agree getting a 504 or IEP would provide some more understanding for the staff and would put some of the responsibility back on this school if this comes up again. Hopefully it won't but it's really hard to predict at this age and it's better to have more help than less help and worry about the stigma.

Unfortunately, an ODD is more stigmatizing than ADHD, anxiety or ASD for some educators who believe it's just code for badly behaved manipulative child whose parents make up excuses.

I would keep the KKI appointment. You could cancel at the last minute if you have financial concerns or if things are going really smoothly and you're no longer concerned.

We have a child who had major behaviors in early elementary but no longer had them with a different teacher the following year or any subsequent year but we are still on high alert. DC is also social and gets along well with classmates, but had issues with the teacher.[/quote]
