[QUOTE="sunshinegirl, post: 534741, member: 14744"] Thank you all for the advice! She was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder (SPD) when she was three by an Occupational Therapist and then evaluated again by the school board who actually found more concerns with her than the private Occupational Therapist (OT). She is currently in an EBD Pre-K classroom at a public school. This was after she was asked to leave a regular pre-school, put in a home therapy preschool by a program called 'Project Challenge' we have in our area. In the home therapy school she repeatedly attacked one of the other students (tried to stab her with a pencil, would hit her with toys etc.) Surprisingly she has done very well in her current classroom, so well they want to remove her IEP and put her in Gen. Ed Kindergarden since her behavior at school is not interferring with her education....have the meeting next Thursday and I am prepared with a battle plan to do my best to keep the IEP...even if they feel she can function in gen ed, I still want the safety net in case. Totally perplexes me how she is so different in school than at home. The school board diagnosed her with daughter, which can only be there until she is 6, and at this time because she can count to 10, knows her colors, numbers and shapes they are saying she doesn't need that label anymore. The thing is when I ask her to count to 10 she gets to 4 and then gets lost, still gets colors and shapes mixed up...are they looking at her through rose colored glasses or is she just a totally different kid with me? Her new diagnosis came from a Pediatric Psychiatrist we recently started seeing. She is going to a center where they have therapy, psychiatry and a pharmacy all in one place. They had me document everything for three weeks. Eating, sleeping, behavior, what happened before an explosion/behavior issue, what happened after, what kind of reaction/consequence she got from me and if she complied with the consequence...everything...I even used my phone to record some of the stuff so they could see it themselves. I actually bought The Explosive Child about two years ago...found it in a bookstore and looked very interesting, read the first two chapters back then but obviously I need to dust it off and read the rest. I will definitley ask her dr and therapist about looking at Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), I never really thought of that and as far as the muffins....looking back I definitley should not have had one muffin laying around. Thank you all so much! [/QUOTE]
