[QUOTE="OTE, post: 8256"] YOU are not the problem here. We know that just because you're trying, you reached out, on your own time, etc. Sure, none of us are perfect and we can all improve and learn new things. But from what you have said this child needs more help than an educational setting can provide, and the SD is not being fair to you to put you in this position. Just take one day at a time and do the best you can. You can't move mountains and you may not be able to make the parent see what is clear to outside eyes. Keep researching and trying new things. Do the best you can to get help from your superiors. Remember that you can't save every kid, no matter how hard you try. Only you can choose how to procede, we've given you some ideas. There is no right answer here. Dreamer mentioned this article and it's a good read for you. We understand that the child does not have a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis. But he clearly has a lot of the hallmarks and there's a huge % of BiPolar (BP) kids who are diagnosis ADHD in childhood. In early childhood the symptoms are similar. But diagnosis is not your issue. This article talks about testing that can be done which would help identify the specific LDs so you can try to address those.
