[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 752138, member: 1233"] I hate to echo others, but get that boy to a neuropsychologist. ASAP. Which could be many months of waiting. Also send a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, asking the school to do a FULL assessment of his needs for the purpose of an IEP. From the day school receives it, they cannot send him home more than (I think) 6 or 7 times. If they send him home that last time, they have to assess his placement. They MUST provide whatever he needs, even a 1:1 aide to go everywhere and keep up with him so he doesn't do these things. They MUST provide an Occupational Therapist if that is needed, many other kinds of therapy, and many other things. I did pull my oldest out of school for 3rd and 4th grade. It wasn't the best decision, or the worst decision. Given that nothing he could do was EVER right for his teachers, I wanted to give him an option that would let him see rewards for doing/trying to do the right things. He then went back into school for 5th and part of 6th. Then he skipped 7th grade because our junior high is atrocious. And went to 8th-12th grade in school with at least a few friends. If you follow the link in my signature at the bottom of this post, you will find an outline for a Parent's Report. Start on that ASAP. It will be a very powerful thing to help your son. It helps you keep all of the info from the various therapists, doctors, etc.... organized. Then you can take that with you to appointments and just look up whatever is needed. It really does help.
