[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 262729, member: 7170"] Getting an accurate diagnoses on a kid is difficult, would be so much easier if they were like cars - take them to shop mechanic hooks up to computer and gets a printout letting them know wiring is shot, transmission is going, needs an air filter & oil change. It doesn't work like that with humans - this is why I suggested the calendars - it gives the reader a condensed, organized glimpse into what's going on at home. My kids rarely will exhibit the behaviors I'm reporting in front of the person I'm reporting them to. The school I was referring to goes into FAPE (free and appropriate public education) that every child is entitled to under federal law. Many parents get into battles with school districts when the district doesn't have something that would make their program appropriate for a kid and district doesn't want to spend the money to offer it. If your district disqualified your child from the preK claiming you're over income I think it was a program like what is called "Head Start" here (federally funded) and it is a preschool that is offered to low income families who can't afford preschool (but disabled children qualify regardless of parents income) I'm not sure if federal or state law but in my state under FAPE disabled children are eligible for public education from birth - age 26 or graduation whichever comes first. birth -3yo Early intervention; 3-6yo either POHI (physical or health impaired) or PPI (pre primary impaired) after 6yo this would fall under special education services offered in the public school setting. With Angel public school didn't have a program that they felt could handle her so they pay for her to attend a day treatment school outside our district, including transportation to that program. Your sons age you should look at PPI (POHI is kids with walkers & feeding tubes, etc.) both of my girls got PPI 12yo graduated from early intervention when she turned 3yo, Angel however got in by lack of social skills & wetting her pants when 5yo because she wasn't quite emotionally ready for kindergarten. The PPI placement was also like a "heads up" to the district this child was going to need some services in Special Education when doing the K-12 grade part of her public education. The PPI teacher was the one who loaned me books based on what she was seeing with Angel - Out of Sync child where I learned about Sensory Integration Disfunction, Explosive Child where it reinforsed what teacher was saying about picking my battles etc. From what you posted I think Explosive Child is still the first one you should read, and in the beginning everything is going to be basket A or C - A being safety issues that you will be willing to go to the wall enforsing & C being things you choose to ignore at this time because you're busy dealing with more important issues. With time you can start moving things from the C basket to the B basket but for now set the B basket aside and focus on safety issues. Your second sentence of 1st post said something about turn your back and he's chopping at cat with scissors - your child should NOT have access to scissors. Our house there is a padlock on cleaning supply cabinet, a suitcase in my room with combination lock for medications, and a toolbox with combination padlock on the kitchen counter for the sharps.
