[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 667920, member: 13260"] No, no DNA testing. Shoot, we are getting the bare bones minimum out of Kaiser as it is. I just found out that he wasn't even officially tested through their testing center for the ADHD for which they have medicating him! How does that happen? It is going to be rectified, though. He's been suspended three times this year already. Part of this is the school's fault and it looks like they will finally be onboard with an IEP. Overall, he seems less anxious, although it's one step back for every 1.5 steps forward. Glacial progress. Up until now, he's been fine with the academics, but the 4th grade curriculum is kicking his butt. He's falling behind in math fairly significantly now because he simply can't remember his math facts or focus long enough to figure out a problem. I think the guanfacine has been good for him, but we aren't holding out much hope for the Strattera helping his focus. Hopefully they put him on an IEP at long last and we get some accommodations that will work, and they can't suspend him every time another child starts teasing him on the playground to the point that Difficult Child loses it and gets suspended. It's been witnessed by other teachers and the boy has a huge target on his back. We are trying alternative recess, e.g., helping the younger kids read during the long lunch breaks. This has been good, and he gets mad at the kids that act up and won't listen to him. Tee hee. Learning moment for him, I hope. He has some teachers that love him and are really trying to help him. Maybe once he gets and IEP, they'll stop suspending him. That and the custody thing, (Difficult Child refuses to go to his father's house at all and my daughter is trying to get some child support--she's working two jobs and never received any child support) and her ex and his wife of two years are going crazy with the nasty emails and text to her and my husband and myself. So that's been a mess and my stomach is in knots most of the time. [/QUOTE]
