Hi all, I am here for my daughter trying to gain information to help her. She is 14 and a freshman, just diagnosed with Bi-Polar after week long hospitalization. She is in public high school, has missed alot of school and is still dealing with side effects of meds (fatigue and stomach problems) so is still missing school. I am wondering if anyone knows how I should approach this? Is it better to get her a 504 or IEP support plan at school to get her accomodations such as a late start and less homework, or will I be fighting a losing battle? Or should we approach online schooling? For those of you have have been through high school with bipolar what would you recommend?

I am excited to have found this forum and look forward to learning from you all.

Jill
