[QUOTE="lady, post: 100855, member: 4360"] Thanks for the response. I studied many therapies as well as did a lot of work with independant doctors before removing him from school. I do all of his therapies right now. He has speech therapy, large motor occupational therapy, small motor occupational therapy, O.T. grapho motor, physical therapy, oral motor therapy, physical therapy, relationship based play therapy, functional play therapy, we also do sensory input techniques to help with sensory issues as well as to help with proprioceptive issues (this helps to eliminate some aggression which is just him seeking sensory input. We practice public conduct, we also practice socialising. All of these therapies on top of school academics. When he was in these therapies -they never suggested anything. I was made to feel shamed for asking in most scenarios -so i did not ask most, but the one i did ask (his teacher) pretended like it did not happen. But it happened all the time to the teachers assistant who was working with him 1:1 90% of the time, as well as to all the others who were actually effective positively in thier work with him, (who were actually doing something with him -requiring something of him).
