[QUOTE="jal, post: 360551, member: 3477"] Hi Leighh, Welcome. Oh, have I been down that road. My difficult child was kicked out of 5 daycares. I lost a job of 9.5 years because of him. He had been in daycare starting at 4 months, got kicked out of his 1st one at 3 and it continued through the age of 6. He is no longer in daycare. I absolutely agree with SRL, if he is going to K in the fall, you need to get the evaluation process rolling. Check your local school district website, they may have the form for the evaluation on there that you can print off (ours did). Fill it out and send it certified mail to the Director of Pupil Services (or whomever they suggest you send it to). Sending it certified kicks off the time frame the SD has to get the ball rolling. I requested an evaluation for my difficult child the summer before he went into K. A few people (K teacher, sped, social worker) came out and viewed him in his daycare for about an hour. They told me he did not qualify, but we would touch base at the beginning of the school year. We did and they said well maybe a 504, but not an IEP. I said I'll give you 3 weeks and we'll be writing an IEP - you know what? We were. You know your child, start the process now. My difficult child used to cover his ears with industrial toilets, too. He no longer does. I would honestly look into a neuropsychologist evaluation rather than the psychologist to start. neuropsychologist's can pick up on a lot more than the psychologists can. SRL's recommendation on the books is a great step too. I could swear you are writing about my difficult child. Tantrums and all. It was more at daycare and school than at home. We've done countless interventions since he was 3. In home behavior consultant, psychologist, psychiatrists and other things I won't bore you with.. Things can get better and they will, but I would definately start with the school evaluation and a neuropsycholgist's evalation. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
