[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 446658"] Did he have an IEP at his school with everything spelled out? If he did, you need to get a copy of it AND make sure one is sent to his new school so they have something to go by. Once you have him enrolled at the new school, request in writing via certified letter "return receipt requested" for the new school to do assessments for special education services, specifically vision, speech, Occupational Therapist (OT), psychological, and behavior. I would add some sort of social skills group to what you want for him. That will help him (hopefully) adjust to the new setting, new people, and maybe help with the anger issues. Make sure the new school gets copies of everything you have about his mental health and academics. Is he on any medications? What are his official diagnoses? How soon can you get a psychiatrist and a therapist set up for him? That's all I can think of for now. I hope he sees this as a fresh start. He is so lucky to have a gma that is willing to put HIM first for a change. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you both. Others will be along. You have found a great place for support and advice. The wealth of experience and knowledge here is awesome!! [/QUOTE]
