[QUOTE="klmno, post: 326281, member: 3699"] I would still question if he's depressed, even though he doesn't feel like he is. I like the idea of using rewards for him achieving the least little thing at this point (completing one project to start out with, for instance) instead of punishments for not meking effort. I'd steer away from alternative school through the sd because they are usually bigger behavior problems, at least in this area. Maybe you can get a trusted psychiatric involved to help determine why he isn't doing more/better. And I'd also recommend a complete physical. Smallworld's solution is great if necessary but many of us can't afford it. You can push for more through the IEP- I am never happy with their typical "we don't need to do anything because we know he's capable". [/QUOTE]
