[QUOTE="kris, post: 19232, member: 74"] welcome, heather. sounds like you guys are having a tough time. is he in half day or full day kindergarten? i have a couple of suggestions for you. first the evaluations already mentioned are a must. if you can't get a full multidisciplinary evaluation get a neurospych done by a qualified psychiatrist/psychologist. this is a specialty so make sure they are properly qualified. second ask the school to evaluate him, but do not rely on them to provide a diagnosis. they are not qualified to do this. ask for complete testing & for a behavior plan to be put in place after they do an FBA...functional behavior analysis. this means he would be observed in various setting at school...classroom, lunch room, PE, & playground. they will observe him for triggers & make suggestions on how incidents should be handled & give the teacher suggestion for reducing his stress. do a Parent Report: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/parent-report-updated.225/[/url]. take this document with-you when you set up evaluation appts. save it to disc & keep it current. also start a 3ring binder to keep all evaluation info, letters to the school, etc, in one place. the most recommended book on this board is THE EXPLOSIVE CHILD by ross green, ph.d. it's an excellent book & gives you a different way to deal with-the behaviors. i know this sounds like a lot of things to accomplish but just take one thing at a time. don't overwhelm yourself. take a close look at the family. any history of of behavior issues, adhd, bipolar, etc.? it gives you a good jumping off spot for doing our own research. by the way, relatives don't need a formal diagnosis for you to consider what might be going on with-your son. family lore is fine. check out homepage. you should find information on the various disorders you will see mentioned here. start reading & see if anything fits. hang in. you're not alone in this. kris [/QUOTE]
