[QUOTE="Andy, post: 191419, member: 5096"] I am so sorry she is having such a hard time with this. I would take the children's hospital's offer to work with the school. You should also call the doctor who prescribes her medications and give him/her a report on how school has started. The IEP should an aide in all classes. Even if she does not yet listen to the aide, the aide can focus on helping her while the teacher keeps the other kids going. You should get all the strategy suggestions you can from the children's hospital and make sure they get built into the IEP. It would be interesting to know how the teachers are dealing with this. It is hard to stay positive, are they giving her a "do this now!" attitude or are they really trying to get her attention and work with her to guide her. If she is feeling too pressured, her anxiety will rise and her flight or fight appears. I often think that when a child behaves like she is, they are overwhelmed and can not handle one more thing - it is like she is trying to process the school schedule but needs more time than adults think. Would it help if you can take her to arrive just as class starts? The hustle and bustle of the 15 minutes before class starts may be overwhelming and confusing her. The first days of school learning how things will be run can feel like a lot being thrown at her? That can throw her entire day off. She may need help in making friends - can her teacher recognize another girl that may have qualities to be a close friend and some how get those two to sit near each other? Have the two girls assigned as buddies for anything that buddies are needed? Let us know what the Children's Hospital strategies are - they may help some of us? [/QUOTE]
