[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 25838, member: 1991"] That book sounds interesting, oceans. Trying teacher, you mentioned you've given him easier work - what would happen if you gave him harder work in a subject he's good at? I know it sounds paradoxic but if you could get him concentrating hard enough it may help him switch off from distractions. I know we've used this in the past to quiet down difficult child 3 when he's about to go into meltdown due to stress. You would need to encourage him with, "I think you're smart enough to try something that not everybody else could understand." The timer - difficult child 3's teachers used to use that. He ended up getting obsessed over it and wanting to play with it, watching the numbers and hearing it tick was too distracting for him but if he couldn't see it he would go into meltdown when it went off and accuse his teacher of speeding it up when he wasn't looking. It works for some kids and not others. Isn't there ANY way you can get through to the mother, that you're really wanting to help this boy? Do you think she would use a Communication Book? I hope you can somehow find a way to reach him, or at least start the ball rolling so someone else can build on what you've already found. It's tragic to have the wheel reinvented each new school year. Marg [/QUOTE]
