[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 109152"] You could have been talking of my difficult child on many issues. Does he have an IEP? We dealt with anger, and he was on a mood stabalizer because of his anger. For 3 years. JUST came off of it and is doing much better. However, it was mood stabalizer, and a lot of counseling from the school counselor, social worker and us. He was/is labeled. Must fight that battle every day. But he has / is learning to recognize triggers, recognize onset of anger and anxiety. IEP lets him use a "cool off" pass when he feels this. Giving him the opportunity to re-group. To leave, find one of several people and talk. difficult child does not take notes. His loss. he does have superior auditory skills, so he learns a lot just listening. difficult child was always included in our meetings with the staff, they said their observations in front of him. We also come to a compromise. If he is quiet, not disrupting, it is his loss if he takes notes or not. We also have an "extended time out" written into his IEP. Have not had to use that this year...yet. When he is angry, and needs to leave school he can come home, go to lunch with ME, or what ever to settle down and return to school with no punishment. (can only leave with dad or mom) We realized he did not feel good having to struggle everyday. The medication helped. Hope you can find an answer for you and your son. [/QUOTE]
