I wonder what I would want a letter from the doctor to say in regards to a 504 plan for Honey? I feel like I would have to "ghostwrite it" lol, because I still dont think health provider "gets it"- I know Honey has her support, but I dont know how much provider understands.
We just saw provider though, and she knows Honey is struggling. She knows that once this struggle is over (due to generic Zoloft), Honey will begin a slow taper off this crap.
Stephany, I just received your comment from the "bad night"post. I will look for the websites/books on the sidebar of your blog. So for the most part, is this something that I would start now to be implimented by next fall (start of next school year)?

IEP?
Stephany and anonymous mom, thanks for the insight and support.
On and off I think about some kind of 504 plan/IEP for Honey. I need to research it/figure out what having one could do for "Honey". She is a good student (last quarter managed 2 B+"s, 2A's and currently has 4 A's) and I think that does get in her way as far as reducing her stress (being a good/type A student. She has high expectations for herself. The B+'s last quarter really upset her.(she had been a straight A student up until those B's. That quarter (with the B's) was also the quarter when the withdrawals got unbearable/we didn't know at the time it was withdrawal- thought it was "depression", and that was also the quarter I filled for on Honey's behalf (and got) the restraining order on her icky x-asshole. It was a crazy time... and she pulled off 2 B's and 2 A's.
So I am thinking the school will think I am crazy and wonder what I am looking for (as far some relief for her.)
I also am hopeful for her future education and wonder if an IEP might affect college acceptance?
As far as help from school... I know that some relief as far as some flexibility with homework (I think she could still do it, but maybe not at the due date? There are just some nights when I dont know how she does it... and then falls apart when it is complete, doesn't sleep well (lots of dreams follow an evening of high stress) Another huge concern for me right now is attendance... she has missed 19 days so far, sometimes going to school when she can hardly stand the thought of it, just because I know she doesn't have much more time to miss before it turns into truancy. Any thoughts?
