[QUOTE="DDD, post: 381127, member: 35"] The fact that you have never needed help in your career before should make it obvious to your administration that you have a troubled child in your classroom and assistance is needed. If I were you I would request a meeting with your Principal, the head of your Special Education Dept. and any other authority figure who can advise you [B]and [/B]offer you help. In our local schools (and Lordy I am not saying they are the best, lol) a disruptive child is sent to the office so the rest of the class can learn. Once standard room control has proven ineffective and distracting, the Deans etc. should outline the intervention steps before removal from the classroom and they should have a conference with the parents. I admire your efforts but don't think you need to assume this burden. As a parent and grandparent of ADHD and Asperger students I am aware of disruptive behaviors. The student you have now is showing consistent aggresive tendencies so meeting with the parents one on one would likely put you in the position of being "over your head". If they show up and tell you "yes, he is a problem" you still will have to go up the school chain to recommend testing. If they don't show up at all or say "he is an angel at home" the best you can do is ask "why do you think his behavior is so different at school?" and then you have to go up the ladder again. Reach up now before the school year progresses and the authorities are swamped with requests. I'm hoping you get professional support. Best of luck. Evaluations prior to IEP's etc. often take alot of time. You, and he, need help now as the tone of the year is being set. Sending caring thoughts your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
