[QUOTE="Steely, post: 450751, member: 3301"] WOW - I just want to say you are an amazing person to welcome this grandson into your home with literally open arms. I am very touched. There is actually so much you probably need to do, but much of it comes in the moment. When does your gs arrive? If you have the psychiatric testing for him, then you can take this to the school district now, even tho it is summer, and start getting an IEP in place. That is crucial so that he can get that one on one help you are talking about. Be prepared for him to act out. He is probably not going to just settle in and be elated. After his honeymoon period with you, he will challenge you just like he did his parents. He will test you to see where you fall in the parental scheme of things. He may even say he wants to go back home - I don't know - but you need to be mentally prepared to hold strong. The first thing I would do is get a psychiatric dr, a counselor, and a family therapist - you will need these supports in place before he even gets there, and make these resources part of this weekly life. And for our sake on the board :) can you please fill out a signature so we know who you are the next time you post, what medications or diagnosis your gs is on, etc!! We are here for you. [/QUOTE]
