[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 169931, member: 45"] While we are far from perfect, here are a few things that have helped: Reading The Explosive Child - the behavior plan changed our lives. We no longer had meltdowns 2 or 3 times a day. We still had them 4-5 times a week, but it was an improvement. Ritalan and Lexapro - Lexapro helped relax difficult child's "rigid thinking" and Ritalin helps him get through the day. Social skills classes - while he still doesn't get it, he is slowly learning. Great teachers - No matter what is in his IEP, we have pushed every year to make sure they pick his teachers with great care. I've found the best have been the ones who communicated with me almost daily whether it be an email or a note sent home to tell me how things went. We have to deal with things on a daily basis or it just doesn't work. Where we are at right now isn't great, but I can't imagine where we'd be without any of these things. [/QUOTE]
