[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 252324"] These things worked well for us. difficult child has really good days, but lies to us about homework. KNOWING we will find out anyway. Due to anxiety / frustration - he has a "cool off pass" All teachers are aware of this and also have a copy. If difficult child feels anxiety or frustration building before he explodes or loses control he will use his cool off pass and go to a designated area (with someone he likes. Up until now it was with an escort) He is able to settle down, regroup and rejoin class. He had 1 of 4 people to go to in middle school. High School he just has a designated area. - this helped a lot with him to recognize the signs of anxiety/frustration/anger. When he can recognize it he can deal with it better. - the teachers can also put the pass on his desk, initiating him to go cool off before something explodes. Writing is also an issue. We have extended time on tests/state tests that require writing. Also has use of computer for any or all free style writing assignments. He can use a flash drive or email if he completes it at home. He goes to the resource room to use the computer there if needed. He was given an alpha smart in 4th grade. He asked for one now so he can take notes. Then just uploads it to the computer. I also had them add (for ME) anytime he is removed from the class that I am notified in some way. Because what was happening is he was being removed every single day from many classes for NO reason. difficult child is an auditory learner. He needs to be in class. If he isn't doing his work, but isn't disturbing anyone he is to stay in the class. Also, he was getting referrals. He was blamed for everything that ever happened at the school. I started checking into things (I was not aware of the referal and neither was difficult child) He was being punished, put in ISS, sent to the office to sit in a little room all alone because someone said. On a referral form there is a place for student statement. I requested he attach his statement to every referal and I get a copy. So many times it wasn't his fault and I could prove that. He wasn't always lying. Just an easy target. Now he did his share, due to his mouth and not knowing when to shut it. But he was not violent, never touched anyone. Even with that, I can go in and review his folder and find referrals that had his statement on, and it was re-typed with-o his statement. High School is much better. Cool off pass did help him keep in control as well as teachers. Instead of "reacting" it was "proacting" and very little outbursts in class. [/QUOTE]
