[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 669542, member: 18958"] I am unclear now, reading Insane's post whether you are posting about your son, which I assumed (and then got confused because you describe him below as high functioning) or your daughter. In any event, you have a handful. The name of the game is to get through each day. Whatever it is that helps...is the key. You cannot write the end of the story, by the first few chapters. Success will follow success. The key is to find the pivot to turn it around. Is there a large City near where you live, that has a regional Childrens's Hospital or a University Teaching hospital? I think you need expert Psychiatric and Neuropsychological help with diagnoses, if you do not already have them. The staff in either one of these settings will be crackerjack. If he/she does not respond positively in the County classroom, think about advocating for a behavioral school. You may also want to look for disability advocates in your area. We got an attorney that helped us get a non-public school placement for 2 years. We got the same thing in another district. The school district has to pay for what your child needs. If a placement is not working another one must be found and paid for. Even if it is out of County. I have said this before: the district paid for a taxi to take my son to the the next County, and back home, a 40 minute ride each way. My son loved it. Let me end saying this: There are reasons your child is acting this way. If they can be identified they can be addressed Do you have a sense of what has triggered these behaviors in your child? When did they start? You have your hands full. Family therapy sounds like a good thing, to get you guys on the same page. You need support, not conflict. Take care. Keep posting. [/QUOTE]
