[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 96195"] suggestions that have worked with my son with similiar issues. Try not to tell/ask him to do things, often this is taken in the wrong way. See if you can come up with a way that makes it seem as if HE is coming up with the solution himself. This way he may be more receptive to doing so. It comes down to how he is approached. If he is approached with someone yelling, he will react in a similiar way. Does he like to help? My son likes to feel as if he can help. My son is very bright but refuses to do many things. One of his teachers had him instruct the "warm ups" This way he was doing the work, even though he thought he was helping. He also was given the job of helping other students that have questions. My son has a "cool off" pass. He uses this when he feels frustration and anxiety building. He has certain people he can seek out to help him cool off, re-group and rejoin the class. Keeping outbursts from occurring in the classroom. My son also has difficulty writing. A solution was written into his IEP to use the computer for any free form writing assignment. At first he was reluctant to do this, afraid of other students comments. He either did the assignment at home on the computer or in the library. Now he uses the classroom computer. He can email the unfinished assignment home, or use a flash drive. He also has an "extended time out" written into his IEP. Have not had to use it yet. But incase there was extreme frustration and anxiety he is given the option to call home and I can remove him from the school for an hour or so. This helps keep him from saying things or doing things that can cause detention, in school suspension or out of school suspension. Does this child have an IEP? From my experience trying to help him do homework, if I tell him how to do it he shutsdown. If I ask him how to do it, he will show me. Just my experience with my son. Hope you find some success. Having a wonderful teacher makes all the difference in the world. [/QUOTE]
