[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 37320, member: 23"] If the FBA isn't done appropriately, it's useless. There's a lot of things that could be going on with your son, but I'm picking up some anxiety related to school. You might want to do some research on this. Of all difficult child's problems, anxiety is the most difficult to deal with. A personal story: There was a time that I fought the homework battles. I also had a rule that what didn't get done at school, would get done at home. It was a mistake. Mistake #1: It takes a lot of energy for some of our kids to hold things together throughout the day. My son was already mentally tired when he got home from school. Expecting him to continue with homework was more than he could do. If difficult child can't be productive with-homework, it doesn't get done. Mistake #2: The more I did regarding classroom assistance, the more I was expected to do by the sd. Because I was doing so much at home, they couldn't see the need for a lot of things he needed as far as accommodations, remedial help, etc., because difficult child was "making good grades." So I had to turn the teaching responsibility back to the educators. Mom changed the rule -- don't send classroom work home. It wasn't until difficult child's IEP was right and everyone was following it, that difficult child was able to perform as everyone expected. As long as the anxiety is kept under control, the rest comes easier. When it's not, it's difficult for all. How is the other testing progressing? [/QUOTE]
