[QUOTE="SRL, post: 98170, member: 701"] Gaia, I'd urge you to repost your situation along with the outcome of this meeting over on the Special Education board. There's a lot a school can do for a child with anxiety so I'm not at all comfortable with their not knowing what to do with him. I doubt that just time will resolve this problem. If they aren't able to educate him with their district buildings, then one option is to send him to a therapeutic day school (at their cost) which is staffed with people who *do* know what they are doing. Also, one thing which you may stir into your pot to think about is that some children with anxiety that is so severe it's bringing functioning to a halt will benefit from trialing medication. Have you discussed that possibility with the social worker at all? No one wants to medicate their child but if this turns out to be a long term issue he clearly will need some interventions, which may include medications, to function. Some kids do very well with medications, others not so well, but sometimes it's worth trying just in case yours is one of them. [/QUOTE]
