[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 61677"] Get an IEP. Check in the special education forum for great advice. My difficult child is very bright, high IQ, skipped a grade, but his behavior has taken it's toll on his grades with defiance to do the work. Because of his behavior and outburts and defiance his first year of middle school was awful. We had our first IEP at semester of 6th grade. Have had several since. difficult child is in regular classroom, with the accomodations he needs to do his best. (if he chooses too). We went through many IEP's and I had to do a lot of research to learn what rights I/difficult child have. After a lot of research I do feel we have a great IEP in place for next year. (IEP was completed the last week of school) Just an example of what we have in place: difficult child has the opportunity to leave the class, go to a "cool off" place specified on the IEP where he has the opportunity to talk to the Special Education. teacher, or social worker. So, if he feels as if he is going to have an outburst he can leave before he blows up. He see's the social worker 1 or 2 times a week. Works with the Special Education. teacher daily on getting assignments completed or atleast together to take home. Many more interventions listed which the school will have to follow. Even though it took 3 IEP meetings prior to the last one, (I was not informed or prepared) difficult child has spent much less time in ISS and was NOT suspended out of school at all last year. My difficult child hates school and probably see's it the same as your child. Has few friends, they come and go depending on him I guess. I would definately suggest getting information on IEP. Could make the whole school experience a much likable event. [/QUOTE]
