I have a 17 yr old son recently DX w/BPD, we currently have an IEP at school for his ADHD & Anxiety disorder but I'm wondering what kinds of things have people added strictly for their BPD to an IEP?  We have our annual update coming up the beginning of Jan so I'd like to be prepared w/anything I can add to accommodate.  Thanks!

Hi GoodDeeds and welcome!

Excerpt
I'm wondering what kinds of things have people added strictly for their BPD to an IEP?

Wow  - this is such a GREAT question!  I don't have a specific answer for you but I hope others do.

My son used to have and IEP as well, years ago long before I knew about BPD.

Can you imagine how things could be different if teachers and police had training in the skills that we are learning and knew the tools to diffuse a situation?

Thanks for posting - good food for thought!

In my experience with IEPs, the school system wants to find the minimum amount of dysfunction in the child because of the increase in costs due to the school system having to provide more services to a more impaired child. I don't know if the school system will know how to deal with a BPD diagnosis in your 17 year old son. Hopefully, the BPD diagnosis will help your son to get the kind of help he needs related to his school participation and support for outside help that he is receiving. I would describe the problematic behaviors of your child and give the school system full access to his records. Maybe his providers for BPD treatment can give some recommendations to the school system on how to best support your son in his school work and treatment for BPD. You might ask if the school system has any particular protocols for dealing with students with BPD. Certainly there are pretty specific protocols for dealing with students with ADHD, and possibly for anxiety disorders. I respect you for how you are supporting your son in getting the help he needs. You clearly love your son to keep doing what you can to help him.
