No! The school should be able to offer services to help your son.Medication free.

No, they cannot but you might need an IEP or 504 to help with behavior modifications and any help he needs to succeed.

No one can make you medicate your child. What type of classroom is he in? Does he have an IEP?

Oh okay. Well I would call a meeting and discuss a behavior plan now. Does he see a therapist?

see the thing im not understanding at our first conforence she said he was too"zoned out" and he needed to participate more so we lowered his meds and she suggested we might need to stop.the meds now when we do he is too hyper ect
Quoting emmy526:no, they can't make you do anything of the sort...they can suggest and recommend all they want, but it's YOUR child, and not theirs....if she has no direct suggestions or answers for you, go over her head to the principal.
