[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 108306, member: 84"] Janna I'd say the head banging would bother me the most. Travis was a huge head banger, although if it was out of frustration I never saw any indication of it. It's like he'd zone out, then his head needed to come into contact with any hard surface. And when I say ANY I'm not kidding, patio doors, tile floors, cement, brick walls, you name it. If that wasn't bad enough, it was HARD too. He wore goose eggs from the age of 6 mos til he was 3. We tried everything to get him to stop. Made it worse that we couldn't seem to find any triggers for the banging so it always seemed to come out of nowhere. Finally we found a football helmet that fit him and he wore that for awhile. Didn't deter the behavior, but did minimize the damage. We still have no clue as to why he stopped head banging so abruptly. Just curious, has Dylan had an EEG since he's been off his medications? As to the cubical, I spent my 4th grade yr in school in one. (ADHD diagnosis as a kid) Wasn't my most pleasant year, but I did make it to the 5th grade. lol I like MWM's suggestion about the video games. I used that method with Travis alot. Actually caught myself using it with Darrin just the other day. lol I also think Dylan needs alot more support at school. I would think he'd qualify for an aide at least. Hugs [/QUOTE]
