[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 129049, member: 1161"] I, too, was wondering if she put this in writing or just verbally said this to you. Either way I would respond that you thank her for her unsolicited input, ask to see her psychiatric qualifications, and if not you have qualified professionals dxing and caring for your difficult child. I'm afraid I have little patience for teachers who go beyond their teaching abilities to try diagnosis a difficult child, so my answer would tend to be a little "curt". I had one, just ONE, school person ever even come close to seeing what my difficult child's problem was, though many offered their opinions. It was the school therapist at our very first meeting about him and his behaviors when he was 7. She suggested he had aspergers tendencies and she saw a lot of anxieties in his behavior. She was overtalked by the 5 other school people there and she didn't say anything else. I went into the meeting with no clue and me against 6, I was overwhelmed. If I knew then what I know now........but oh well. He should have a written school personal plan, what the States call an IEP, here in Sask. they call a PPP. If he has one, maybe you need to call a new meeting with everyone and "tweak" his to help with the anxiety more. Perhaps he needs a 1:1 aide to help him keep up with the class and stuff he doesn't understand. I notice when my difficult child actually works with his aide, and she helps him "get it" he's much more relaxed with school. The nail biting and picking can be anxiety driven, I see as part of his diagnosis, as my difficult child had lots of school anxiety and would pick at scabs and "bumps" when he was very stressed, and pulled out his hair at his worst. Whether concerta or not I don't know as I have no experience with that medication. [/QUOTE]
