[QUOTE="buddy, post: 569467, member: 12886"] Oh gosh that reminds me....my son has been in classes with red light systems, clips on charts etc. They increase his behaviors because they increase his anxiety and frustration as well as lowering his self esteem. Once they get put on the "bad" spot what's the point of trying? And if they don't have the skills to do better then just saying do better is crazy making! I worked in a charter school. The exact same laws apply. Charter schools may have a focus that does not match the needs of a child though so you need to think about even if you force them to do what they legally have to do, will it be worth it? In the end an IEP and behavior plan only work if people truly follow it and care. My son takes clonidine which is in the same family as tenex and he does take it during the day. Everyone is different. But many of us have had medications increase aggression and while you can't suddenly stop tenex its worth a thought as to whether or not for your son it is making him worse. Tenex didn't work for my son but Clonidine does. Huge difference. [/QUOTE]
