[QUOTE="Jena, post: 379134, member: 4514"] hi, how are you? stressed i'm sure :) my oldest was diagnosis with odd going back several mos. ago. she is 17 though and odd is a rough diagnosis because as marg said it doesn't come alone. and i think me personally can say ok i know i was an odd kid growing up or rather teen. with that being said, what type of testing or evaluations have you had done up till now? I would do as other's suggested yet to deal with-your immediate issue that being the school........... i think if i were you id' put it on paper what it is i want for him in that school. his behaviors that have been seen in the school and what you deal with-at home, and call the school and request a team meeting or parent mtg. is there at 504 or iep in place with-this school yet? sounds like there is. i always find it best to get all the teacher's involved with-your child in the same room so that everyone can talk, get on same page, and understand what needs to happen. goals should be put in place. even if their in 3 mos. we'd like to see your child not become verbally aggressive in bldg. or with-teachers and than a plan to make that happen. weekly therapy in school, a touchpoint or place for him to go to when he gets overloaded with it all. i'd say start there at least with-school as a step one sort of thing. as far as at home what types of stuff have you tried that hasnt' worked so far?? opppositional kids are rough, and i'Tourette's Syndrome challening and i find alot of times you have to pick and chose your battles to some extent. to lessen the stress on you and to also try to find moments where you can just let certain behaviors just roll. your not going to be able to challenge all of it at the same time i know i've been there also. i had my oldest run away on me one day 4 times lol. wasnt' funny at the time yet i look back and laugh now. totally diff situation due to her age, yet i had a plan in my head on how id' deal with-it did the best i could to remove emotions from it (sooo not easy when its' our own kids) and i finally broke her. like a wild horse she was and still can be. (((Hugs))) i know it isnt' easy, yet this is a great place to be, alot of helpful ppl, insighful parents that really know there stuff and a great place to just vent away. welcome!!! [/QUOTE]
