[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 707871, member: 11832"] I'm thinking he is misbehaving because he is bored out of his mind. Do you have any knowledge of the teacher using rewards for him? We have multiple issues in the classroom where I work. Most of the kids have some reward that they are working toward based on the kid. I'll bet that your son has a special interest that could be used as a reward. One of the kids I am with has quite the motormouth. When we're in art class, I let him sing to heart's content. I view it as sort of a stress release, and I think he needs to do it. One day he sang that song from Looney Tunes that the frog sang, "Hello Ma Baby" over and over and over and over and over. Seriously, we could send the boy to Guantanamo Bay as a torture device. But as annoying as it was, I viewed his singing as necessary for him. You can't expect a high energy, special needs kid to maintain composure all day every day. The boy who I worked with last year often stood at a podium in class. His issue was constant repetitive movements, so we let him stand a good portion of the day. It's particularly hard for active boys to sit still for long periods of time. From your description, it does not sound like your son is getting much understanding from the people who work with him. That worries me. [/QUOTE]
