[QUOTE="jannie, post: 257977, member: 2074"] Sorry things are breaking down a bit at school. What types of classes is he in at school. I know you've mentioned that his academic skills are well below grade level (I think you've mentioned this...if it was someone else, I am sorry). How is the school providing interventions to improve his skills. Is he just getting frustrated with the workload? Is he using assitive technology programs to allow for texts to be read aloud and/or word prediction programs to assist with the writing? Is he in a reading intervention program or grade level reading? Are the instructional and testing accommodations being used on a daily basis? Is the work being modified enough? I see how much work my own 12 year old is getting and it worries me how difficult it would be for someone who is struggling academically. Does the school offer any double periods of math? I know it's alot of questions....but I want to make sure they are doing enough to improve his academic work and overall learning...as this can be a huge trigger for frustration/anger. I know when our kids are behaviorally out of control all we care about is that they are safe and not hurting themselves or others....but as we somehow manage to get our kids in better control (OFTEN THROUGH TONS OF MEDICATIONS) we need to begin to focus on academic skills and interventions. This summer/fall/winter I had my son use the LEXIA reading computer program at home and I paid him to use it; it greatly improved his decoding skills... [url]http://www.lexialearning.com/[/url] Also the school now has him Corrective Reading...3-4x a week for 20 minute periods programs such as co-writer/read/write outload/wirting cue/clicker all really provide reading/writing support....the new FUSION is great... The assistive technology part of the IEP should be able to address and discuss these As I said in my earlier post...I guess up babbling a bit today...I'm home from work...difficult child is sick....
