[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done lots of IEP meetings, but as a Social Worker not a nanny.  I think including a nanny is wonderful as it's really best to get input from all the people regularly involved in the child's life.  I'm assuming you will be doing an IEP review, so you will likely go over each section of the current IEP and make changes as needed for the next year. You will also review the goals and discuss the progress that was made toward thems and revise or change them as necessary.  They will also review what services he/she is receiving this year and decide if he/she still needs the current level of services or more/less.

Please just a pet peeve on mine, if possible don't call him/her an "ADHD Child" though.  A child who has ADHD or is diagnosed with ADHD is so much better.  You would never call a child with Cancer a "Cancer Child", so a mental health diagnosis shouldn't be any different.  I've seen this little change make such a difference in how a child views themselves as their whole identity isn't wrapped up in their diagnosis. [/b] [/quote]

Totally endorsing this bolded section.  Even though that may be how his family refers to him, that doesn't mean you can't take a more enlightened stance OP.  This poster is absolutely correct and these things make a difference to the child - even though he would probably never be able to articulate it, or you may think you never do it in front of him.  It's a label that carries weight and stigma.  Do your small part to not contribute to that weight.[/quote]
