[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 475619, member: 84"] Welcome to the board. Buddy gave you some excellent advice. Another two things I can think of; 1. contact your state board of education, tell them the issues you're having and your difficult child's dxes and they'll find the laws to help PLUS if school doesn't comply you call them back and they force the school to comply. (this alone saved me many many many times) 2. You might consider having a neuropsychological evaluation done on your son as it would be helpful in pinpointing the specific areas he is now having issues in post Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) such as sensory, organization, impulse control, emotions, learning issues, language issues ect ect. What is going to be affected depends on where the damage is, even subtle damage can cause issues. Oh......and if you have a neurologist who doesn't explain, find a children's hospital as close as you can and try them, ask them about their neurology clinic (they'll tell you if they don't have one) and give them his diagnosis because if they have a doctor who speicializes in it, you'll see that doctor. Actually I'd do this regardless as difficult child is still a child, a teen, but yeah. My son had a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) at birth and another at 18. If you can pinpoint where your son's issues are, there are usually ways to help work around them or to help him adapt. I had a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) 8 yrs ago. I *thought* I understood what my son's issues were due to my medical background (I did grasp it better than most) but I had no clue in any real sense. Now that I share many of the same issues he has.........and the same frustrations, wow, whole different ballgame. My main issue is short term memory. Until about 3 yrs post injury it was basically toast. Now I can remember, but I seem to have little control over what I remember or when my brain just shuts off and goes blank (literally). Numbers are my enemy. I transpose numbers and letters. Math is a challenge. Plenty more but that gives you the idea. Everyone is different depending on where the damage was and the extent but well......yeah. It's very difficult to get others to really understand because it's not a disability you can see. I hated working with the school as far as Travis' Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) issues. Hated it. Those were the ones I usually had to call the state school board over. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
