In reply to Dr. won't write IEP letter, other problems..., posted by asilydur on November 16, 2001, at 3:02:49
I think it is fairly common for kids with ADHD to do well through elementary and then start to unravel in middle school because middle school makes so many more demands on them in terms of attention and organization, etc.
I also think you are right that the school will keep the special ed info in a confidential folder, separate from regular school records. You could ask them to write a letter to your doctor explaining their privacy procedures, etc.
You might want to consult with another doctor for a second opinion, first of all regarding the medications, but also to see if there is a doctor who is willing to work WITH the school.
JMHO.
