[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485942, member: 12886"] Ic that is exactly the plan, if this doesn't work, would be nice if it would because no concerta in him, whatever it is about it that makes him more agitated??? It would be nice not to have it. But if not then at least we can reduce it and he can be a little more cooperative, and we can avoid the full rebound off the short acting stuff etc. But we did short acting for years and it was fine so I pray he will get into it. I didn't think of it till later, but he probably does not have it on his schedule at school right. We have to make sure everything is there, he does his check in and sees the schedule etc. Yeah, I know, what they can control, huge???? But the thing is if the school is doing NOTHING to investigate or address things... well then there is a huge problem and they have no business just going for punishment. Here is what my behavior specialist says (autism/brain injury expert)... It does't matter what they can control. In strict behavioral terms, they need to look at the problem behaviors, figure out the theoretical triggers, causes, deficits, etc... and then they need to address those by teaching skills and reinforcing the use of apppropriate behaviors. So, doesn't matter really. He always says just let that go. Let all judgements go too. We just need to do our jobs and help this kid. I try hard to remember that. [/QUOTE]
