[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 458207"] Hi just for privacy you might want to edit his name out. I think think its a great idea that he is going into the sp ed class. Have you met the teacher and seen the new classroom? High expectations aren't a bad thing as long as the supports are in place that the kids can actually do the work. From what you said he can do at home it sounds like he can do the work. He might excel in this class. Sometimes its a personality conflict between teacher and kids. Yes, even in kindergarten I have seen it. The school I used to work for had a kindergarten kid the teacher described as awful. They got him on an IEP, had me develop a behavior plan, from what the teacher was telling me I was worried about next years teacher. Got him in a new class for 1st grade and the new out-of-college teacher didn't have any problems with him. It could also be something or someone in that class is setting him off. A stressor that isn't in the other environments. If he has sensory issues it really could be anything. Or it could be the expectations and work are harder and the supports are weaker so he loses it more in that class. Any way, the new class will be a good thing. ADHD can be a part of many other dxs. Some you wouldn't ever consider. I never thought difficult child 1 would be on the autism spectrum. Toe walking is a flag for autism. You might want to get more testing done by a neuropsychologist. Ditto on what the previous posters have said. Plus, you'll probably want to get some one other than the school to do the testing. I has been my experience that the person (or school) who pays the piper picks the tune. I'm not saying the school's personal is bad its just better to have your own done and then the school can do testing too, if they don't want to go off of yours. I'm sure some other parents here have had good results with the schools. I have not. For us there testing wasn't invalid.
