[QUOTE="Winnielg, post: 585015, member: 16059"] I am sorry- what is a TBS? I understand the feeling of dread as my husband and I go thru that all the time. With this new plan I am looking forward to not having difficult child in house basically tormenting us everyday. I want to help him but he fights is every step of the way so maybe out if the house it will be easier to help him. I know in NYS one can stay in HS until they are 21 ( I think really until the day before their 22nd birthday). I know here there are residential boarding high schools that we considered as well. I think you should definitely be looking into FL stuff as ADHD is an official diagnosis, but more importantly if she will only be starting HS at 18 I would imagine she must be disabled in the eyes of the district which I think could only help you. But I would begin NOW. I wish I had begun years ago. I just did not know to start the process. Further you said she is more like 8. Have you had her adaptive behavior and or executive function skills tested? On difficult children psychological test we had done I know the main one was the BASC. I can pull the report if you want me to get more specific and PM you. But I would think results from that kind of test will shed light on either another diagnosis or rather just illustrate how she will need assistance in the future. [/QUOTE]
