[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 80776, member: 3647"] Kjs On the last thread, when you were given links about Tourettes and executive function disorders, did you look them up? The tics and the inappropriate yelling could be a good indicator that he may have Tourettes. The kid has GOT to have a neuropsyche evaluation. I do not believe his diagnosis is correct, or at least it is not complete. At this point, it is as though you are treating him for diabetes, when he may have pneumonia. Then, not only is he getting in trouble at school for not having his blood sugar under control, he is getting yelled at by you when he gets home. I think that most of what goes on at the school is not his fault. I think the school is singling him out, but to be fair, they are doing nothing different than you are. With the diagnosis they have, and the IEP that there is in place, they too are like "why can't this kid just get his act together!" He is being done a great disservice. He can't get a better IEP without a more accurate diagnosis. All the yelling at him in the world is not going to change him. All the screaming at the school in the world is fighting an uphill battle, too. As soon as one issue gets resolved, another one pops up. You need to solve the CAUSE, not the EFFECT. [/QUOTE]
