[QUOTE="Janna, post: 108530, member: 2737"] Thank you everyone No EEG Lisa. He's never had one, ever. I asked the neuropsychologist about having one done, but he said there wasn't a need. Dylan did see a pediatric neurologist when he was 5 years old because of the constant head banging, but the pediatrician. neurologist said everything was fine. I dunno - the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) doesn't seem to have a concern. Maybe I need to bring that up, too. SRL, I love the Occupational Therapist (OT) idea, and know Dylan needs it, but the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) isn't going to provide it. They say because he doesn't need it in school, they aren't going to give it, so I will have to wait until discharge, and find private Occupational Therapist (OT) outside of the school setting. We did ask him if his headbanging felt good, and he said no. I can't imagine it would - it truly looks painful. I turn the PS2 or whatever off, but he is eventually allowed back on. I turn it off immediately when he's hurting himself because he needs to immediately stop doing that. I don't really think I could get any kind of helmet/hat or anything else on him. He doesn't like winter caps, any type of hats, or anything else on his head, but it's a thought. I bookmarked Model Me Kids (thanks SRL) and the AutismLink looks great, thank you ck, but everything is so far away! But, I have it and will read through some more tonight. Marg, can we just come live with you for a while? I was going to message you privately if you didn't have time to reply here, and I'm thankful you did. Your insight is helpful, and I've copied all the posts here. Dylan is not able to stay in class, that is the big school thing. I don't know how to get him a 1:1 aide, but I'm 100% positive he needs one. I've emailed the Secretary of the Department of Education in Harrisburg asking for more information and looking for an advocate. If I don't hear anything from him in a week, I will start calling around. I want Dylan to have an aide. I've thought, WFEN, about removing the video games completely. The movies are a good idea. Again, all the thoughts are appreciated. I'm clueless, again, as to what I'm doing. I'm also highly frustrated because I feel like I'm standing in an empty room screaming for help, and nobody gives a :censored:. J [/QUOTE]
