[QUOTE="Star*, post: 124883, member: 4964"] Hi and welcome back , You know...my son for a long time couldn't hold it together at home or school. Both were so hard for him. Impossible really. And then we started counseling and medications - and we saw a slight ()much improvement at home, and school was still a huge source of anxiety. I will tell you this much. My son has had an IEP every year for 11 years and NOT ONCE did he ever meet the criteria to pass to the next level. So for that I'm very proud of your son. GOOD JOB. As my son got older he was in and out of RTCs (several) and the schools weren't as stressful because he saw that there were MORE kids like him with similar issues and problems. Once he saw that it was like someone switched his brain to allow him to get along in school, but that wasn't until 10th grade. In 10th grade he became a straight A student in (selfcontained) class. He's missed so much, he's now doing GED courses 2 days a week. It's still a good goal, and he's realized he missed out on a lot. Most of the people you will talk to here with children in school will tell you that our kids can either hold it together at home or at school but not both. If you're lucky to get one - just be thankful yours is at school and continue to work with the therapist regarding setting limits, short term goals, and consequences at home. Many hugs - just thought you should know your situation isn't as unique as it feels. You aren't in that boat alone. Star [/QUOTE]
