[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 379766, member: 1550"] I think an IEP is more in order. His behaviors are severe. I agree with getting a neuropsychologist evaluation (privately). I'd bet every nickle I have that this is more than severe ADHD. Could be a mood disorder or part of the autism spectrum, but it's over-the-top for ADHD and the medications could be making him even worse if he is misdiagnosed. I suggest out of school private testing. This is not a child who will respond to behavior modification. Almost none of our kids do. It's important to find out the core of what is really wrong...and treat it. Are there any psychiatric problems on his family tree (genetic) on either side? Any substance abuse? How was his early development? Can he maintain eye contact with strangers and have a give-and-take conversations? Does he know how to socialize with his same age peers? Any quirky habits/behaviors? Welcome to the board...but, on the other hand, sorry you have to be here. [/QUOTE]
