[QUOTE="ceolgirl, post: 429778"] This has been the toughest week yet! difficult child had huge meltdown at school on Monday and turned over a desk and hurt her para. She also threw numerous items from her bag and her jewelry and they had to clear the room of all the other students from the room. She told the school psychologist/social worker that she was aware of her outbursts and able to control them, and only doing it because she doesn't want to be in the school anymore. I know this is not true, but the principal is now convinced that she is doing this all on purpose. She is being sent on a superintendent's suspension at another school starting tomorrow and I'm petrified of the reaction when I have to take her there tomorrow. Any suggestions on how to approach this with her, and how to dissipate the anxiety. We've switched her medications to the morning in the hopes that it will help level her out, however increasing the dose yesterday just made her jumpy. She is currently on 10mg of Abilify. Her behavioral therapist, whom we've been working with for a month now, saw her first fullblown meltdown last night and said this is something she sees every day, and worse, in the school where she teaches. Now I have to go to meeting tomorrow at school to find out their recommendations for new placement, and know that they are going to suggest a Special Education School placement and am going to have to fight for home services and proper IEP placement related to her elevated IQ. Right now I'm as scared for her as I've ever been, and totally overwhelmed as many of my support people have fallen by the wayside because she has become too much for them, or they don't agree with how I'm handling things. Taking the behavioral therapist with us to the Psychiatrist next week to discuss possibly changing the medication and seeing whether she can help us to get more services. Just hoping for some serenity for us both tonight, going to go swimming with her sitter at the gym and hope for a nice evening and that she will be okay tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
