[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 497319, member: 13003"] I'm going to sound like a broken record. But... If the behavior interventions are having no impact, then maybe it doesn't start with a behavior problem. Maybe... there's something else going on. We've had years where difficult child was totally burned out... [B][U][I]four days[/I][/U][/B] into the school year - and went downhill from there. And it wasn't a behavior problem - although the school sure treated it like one. Please consider whether hidden disabilities may be at play here. If they are, your difficult child will not necessarily have any clue that these are the problem. (for a whole range of reasons, including being told he is lazy, or lieing, or worse, for trying to self-advocate...) Example: Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - especially auditory figure ground. Kid has to put so much effort into trying to figure out what the teacher is saying that... either they don't catch the meaning, or only get part of it, or end up so burned out that they can't handle anything... Somehow, you have to figure out WHAT is sending him off the deep end. And yes, it WILL be something to do with his school day. And no, school will have NO idea what that is. [/QUOTE]
