[QUOTE="DeterminedMama, post: 588147, member: 16157"] InsaneCDN, I will definitely look for those books, my library or should have it or i should be able to get it thru them.. Thanks! Yes, in the beginning his father did not want any kind of classification of Special Education. He was in denial and wanted to think his son was perfect. "My sons not a retard! There's nothing wrong with him", etc. But he's coming around and was ok having him classified this fall. He started to see that classification means that they help him. He was also hell-bent against medication from the start. In the past I've tried explaining that the effects of methadone on a baby can have effects that cant be 'fixed' with behavioral modifications. He was still like i dont care! Yesterday I brought up the fact of his neurological damage from methadone addiction, exposure to who knows what else, & lack of interaction as an infant and how if neurons don't fire properly or aren't firing to the right places he isn't going to get better, and it might take therapy and medication. Just like when you gets sick, medicine helps fix the problem. At first he was so mad at me, took such offense to what i was saying he wasn't even listening to me. But after school when we got a new full report of each incident of the day, he automatically opened his eyes and asked me what we're supposed to do, and realized i wasnt on the attack and what i was saying was valid. Relief.... And thanks buddy :) I really needed to get the ball rolling. In general, once I know what I'm working with, I tackle it. But until im at the dr's I'll be really realllly anxious! [/QUOTE]
