[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 475800, member: 84"] Does your son have an IEP in place at school? If not, you might want to talk with them about getting the process started. Sounds to me like you're on the right track with a therapist and a psychiatric doctor. Since your son has struggled throughout his childhood, I'm thinking there is something else going on that has been missed along the way. It's not uncommon for a change in work load and environment to make such issues suddenly overwhelming. Would he sit with you and tell you in a rational discussion about what he feels his issues in school academically and with homework are? (you'd have to be careful not to get upset at his answers as I don't know it's just dumb or some such is a typical answer at that age) How was his early development? Did he hit his developmental milestones within normal ranges? Have you noticed with either homework or school work certain areas that tend to trigger the anxiety or where he performs more poorly than others. I'm wondering if a neuropsychological evaluation would be a good idea as it's a broad based evaluation that looks for a wide variety of things. My daughter's school issues started around around Jr High but escalated when she started high school. It took a while but the reason for the academic part of it was her dyslexia. In the lower grades she had ways of coping to some degree......but in high school those methods were no longer working and she found herself overwhelmed until she learned to cope with it. Of course the medication changes could be exacerbating any under lying issues. Welcome to the board. I'm glad you found us. Hugs [/QUOTE]
