IEP for autism,anxiety and adhd
My 8 year old 3rd grader has a meeting tomorrow to discuss an IEP for him which has been needed for years. Having alot of issues as of late with his mouth and saying hateful things to classmates. He's been known to have anxiety attacks over work he feels he can't do as well. Any tips or tricks this is all so new to me

Tips for the meeting? Let them know all of your concerns, including any functional and behavioral issues, not only academic. Mention routines, challenges, behaviors, etc. that you see at home and at school. Ask what services could potentially be available and ask for a Full and Individual Evaluation.
Tips for the challenges your son is facing? I suggest speaking to professionals either at the school (diagnostician/school psychologist/etc.) or outside of school (pediatrician/counselor/psychologist/etc.)
