[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 116538, member: 3072"] I have no advice on the medications a we saw little to no improvements with medications for difficult child. The other ladies sound like they are much more educated in that area that I so I'll leave that to them. The IEP...yes, the school needs to stick to what they agreed to do..if they "can't", then maybe other accomodations need to be made. I found that the explanation of what the difficult children "should be able to do" from the teachers did not hold water because even though maybe they "should" be able to do certain thinks, it doesn't mean that they actually "can". Homework. I would make modifications to that and see if maybe difficult child could utilize a study hall with a teacher to help him get through some of it. That would mean not so much to have to do at home. He might also be able to do it easier while at school because its earlier in the day and by the time he gets home, he might be too tired to do it. We did that with my difficult child for a while but in the end, stopped homework altogether. Not long after that, we had her placed in Special Education. across the board because the demands of the normal classroom environment was just too much for her...she got lost in the shuffle and her grades plummetted. She's doing very well in spec. ed. and is a much happier young lady....so far. Thats not for everyone and their difficult child's and I wouldn't advocate just anyone putting their kids in spec. ed....its just what has worked out for us in our situation. I do advocate the homework in study hall with teacher help though. It could mean less frustration for both of you after school. As far as the Birthdays. Could it be that the anticipation of his birthday causes him to be overstimulated and just overall have a harder time to keep his behaivor under control? I hope you can get some of these issues resolved. [/QUOTE]
