"Normal" ppl don't have issues with anger, why do these ppl? I'm not saying intervention doesn't work, it certainly does, I've seen it work, BUT the ppl I have seen it work on [B]still[/B] have very deep rooted issues that have not been addressed. If he has a diagnosis, he has a disability, if the disability is affecting his school work (in any way, including behavior) then he is eligible for an IEP or the very least a 504 plan. How much you tell the school is up to you, but if they just think of him as a "discipline case" you will not get any help from them. Even with a disability diagnosis, overburdened schools go to great lengths to NOT create IEPs and 504 even though, by law, they are required to. in my opinion "possible bipolar" will buy you more time than ODD Has he been seeing a therapist?
