[quote=Anonymous][quote]Oh, I just got my hopes up. They might refuse for my DD as well, as she has As and Bs and one C, so not failing school, but if her friends are telling me that she never stops talking and is hyper, and I see it all at home, then what to do? I mean I am like some kind of run over personal manager to high profile rock star, facing tantrums and keeping track of everything and the all non stop activities. I don't know that she needs medication but some help at school to keep her from forgetting to submit homework, forget clothing, lunch and staying on task would be really helpful. I guess I will see what the specialist says. I have tried many things, the problem is she starts being defensive as soon as I suggest something, and it escalates right away, really without any reason to escalate. I will look over other threads to see if there is some more advice and start my own if needed. Thanks! [/quote]

Agree with PP that it sounds like you might want a 504 plan.  Many of the things that you may want could be considered "best practices", which makes it hard to get the 504.  But, that's not why I'm responding.  I wanted to suggest that maybe your daughter could figure out some of her own strategies for these things.  When my son was in ES and had only one teacher, he had a checklist taped to his desk of things he needed to do at the start of each day.  When he started MS, he made his own checklist that he laminated and put in front of his binder.  Also, after a few weeks at MS, I took him to Staples to have him buy the binder and supplies he needed to be successful - took like 1.5 hours and more than $75, but three years later he is still using the systems he developed.  It has made a huge difference to have my son develop his own strategies.  [/quote]
