[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 504502"] To protect your daughter's rights at school, you need to send a written letter requesting that she be thoroughly evaluated for special education services. Send it Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. Do it ASAP. It starts a federal timeline AND gives her certain protections regarding suspensions. Just them having the letter makes that happen. I, too, am glad you finally found a Child Psychiatrist (I hope). I just hope they are worth their title. Praying that they are one of the GOOD ones. We definitely need more information about your daughter, as MidwestMom said. Also, many kids have issues in one place or another. Since she has problems at school and not at home, my guess is that there is some underlying issues related to the demands of academics that she is struggling with and her way to deal with it is to explode (classic avoidance technique for many of our kids). Read the books The Explosive Child and Lost At School by Ross Greene. Those should help you get to the bottom of what SHE is thinking and feeling and WHY. Have you ever sat down with her to calmly discuss the exact sequence of events starting with the hiding under the table and working your way back? WHY did she want a whiteboard so bad (ask her)? Kids don't do this for no reason and most kids react this way because they don't really know HOW to deal with it in any other way. Many of or kids have to be specifically taught how. [/QUOTE]
