[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 207100, member: 1233"] Welcome!! You have gotten a lot of great info! I want to encourage the suggestions that you get the Explosive Child book. It is extremely helpful for many, many of us. I also want to suggest you get a PRIVATE occupational therapy evaluation. Schools DO offer this, but they generally only evaluate for what is impacting academics. There is a lot more to a full Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation than that. One thing they look for are sensory issues or sensory integration disorder. Kids who are always jumping off of things, etc... MAY very well have sensory issues. If you want to read about sensory issues, I suggest "The Out of Sync Child" by Carol Kranowitz. I can personally say that the sensory issues my son has have been treated with-o medicines (youngest son thank you), and have made a HUGE difference in every aspect of his life. (NOT saying medicines are bad, just that this is one area you can make a BIG difference in with-o them. EACH of my kids is on medications for different things. And those are much needed also.) Anyway, welcome to our group, and hugs! Susie [/QUOTE]
