[QUOTE="slsh, post: 240201, member: 8"] Hi MDL and welcome! First off, my oldest has been seeing a neuro at Children's for years and I can only give the very highest of praise for their staff - truly outstanding folks up there. I think you'll be in excellent hands. It might be time to ask for an evaluation of your son at school. If you're getting frequent calls about his outbursts then there are problems that are affecting his ability to receive an education. been there done that - my kid was also a chair throwing explosive volcano. Check out the sped 101 archives for sample letters to get the ball rolling. The school may just be calling you right now but in a year or 2, they're going to start disciplining (suspending) him for these kinds of things. In addition to the usual multidisciplinary evaluation (checking for LDs, motor skills, etc.) I'd insist on a functional behavioral analysis. This should help identify triggers and specific problematic behaviors - aside from the obvious ;) . Not only are his behaviors affecting his learning, but in my experience with my kiddo, they're also setting him up for a really rough time socially if the school staff doesn't start working on positive behavioral strategies to help him maintain in the classroom. Kids have long memories and tend not to want to socialize with disruptive peers. Anyway - glad you found us! Welcome! [/QUOTE]
