[QUOTE="Purplehippo, post: 730648, member: 22944"] Brand new here after spending a lot of time Googling behavior issues hoping to find someone in my situation and I came upon this post. This is 99.9% my 7 year old son's story, except we are a tiny bit farther along down the road. We have had the exact same behavioral difficulties at school for all of kindergarten and so far all of 1st grade, complete with him being placed at another elementary school in our district where he seemed to show improvement for 3 months but then it went back to the same old things, and me being called constantly to pick him up. He was then transferred back into a new program at his home school which lasted 9 days before the school called an emergency meeting and said that he needs to be in a therapeutic setting. I have no idea why he acts out so much at school. Behaviors at home and other social situations is pretty typical. School has given up on him and we are just starting the process of finding an out of district therapeutic school for him. He has also just begun medication (started Risperidol on Wednesday after a month trial of Wellbutrin did not help) and counseling. He has had a neuropsychological evaluation which gave him diagnoses of ADHD combined presentation and DMDD (I don't think that is really what the issue is, but it helped get him an IEP in December 2017 after being found ineligible in Kindergarten). The only other things that are different is that his 4 year old sister passed away from a brain tumor 2 years before he was born-he knows about this-and his aunt (my sister) also passed away from cancer 1 year before he was born-he also knows about this in an age appropriate manner-and I do not think that those things are causing his issues at school, but who knows at this point. He also has a 15 year old brother and they don't get along very well but again, I don't think that is the cause of his issues at school. Most recently (about 3 weeks ago) he was reduced to a half day schedule at school and they again started calling me to pick him up almost every day. We actually have another meeting scheduled for this coming Wednesday and I'm bringing an educational consultant with me because of the constant calls to pick him up. There are a lot of details that I'm leaving out for the sake of time, but this has been most of my life for the past 2 years. I'm actually looking forward to the OOD placement at this point because he and I are both so stressed and upset by the current situation and I figure it can't get much worse at this point.
