[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 427316, member: 10"] Hi, medications are part of the picture. If you are taking a fresh look at your son's diagnosis , look at the collaborative problem solving approach [url]http://livesinthebalance.org[/url] and [url]http://thinkkids.org[/url] . check the ALSUP list/ thinking skills inventory and get an idea of his lacking skills and keep a journal or from your memory write down the context/situations - when, with, why , who etc when these skills seem to be lacking - the more the detail the better. and then start learning to have a conversation, take perspectives , problem solve = not easy . the book ' lost at school ' guides one with cps in school. Mentors, older brother, buddy-tutor - We have to find some one he can trust, build a relationship, admire who can guide him 0 his friend , not a therapist who you have hired. Peer mentor also helpful -- i believe this is crucial treatment centers - those who use point levels etc to manipulate behavior or rely on the control structure to leverage behavior may be able to get a kid to look good , but when he comes home where the structure is rather different , kids fall apart. A place - good with medications , focuses on emotionally empowering and teaching problem solving skills rather than getting ' compliance' is what I recommend. My bet is him spending more time with young adults or older teens Your situation is very tough , so nurture yourself - sending prayers and positive thoughts in your direction Allan [/QUOTE]
