[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 462603, member: 11791"] First, welcome... Its a good thing that you already have evaluations "underway". But you're right. These things take time. And in the mean while... Mind a few more questions? Just because it helps fill out the picture, and may provide more clues about things that might help. - family background - is he adopted? step child? living with both parents, or a shared custody arrangement, etc. - siblings? - do you work? (this is NOT about the impact of working/not-working... rather, what kind of time you might have available) - more details on family medical history - what was he like as a baby? milestones, behavior at home, that sort of thing - is he younger than most of the class? or in the middle? (entering K at 4.5 years old vs. at 5 or 5.5)ve mo - has he ever had Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation or therapy - has he ever had Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation or therapy Others will have more questions, too... I agree with Malika - yes, the kid has problems but the teacher does too. Sent to office for "not standing in line correctly"? Ummm..... we (people around this board) know what its like to have teenagers who haven't mastered that one yet. Really. Biting? ok, physical violence definitely requires a trip to the office. Your assessment is pretty accurate. Bigger question is.. what can you do about it. Long run - you're already going there. Get evaluations, then get interventions and accommodations etc. While you're at it - if you haven't already, get an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation done for sensory and motor skills issues, and a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation. These results will be useful to others who deal with your child - but will also bring therapy to bear on the problems. Short term - I'd be meeting with the principal and teacher - Special Education teacher if you can - to see what kind of a game plan they can come up with to help everyone survive while you work through the process of getting evaluations etc. done. Maybe this teacher can't handle "issues" and he should be in a different classroom. Or maybe the teacher has a number of challenging kids and really should have an aide in there. What are the options? and what can you do on a "trial" basis, knowing that until dxes are available, you really don't know what will work? [/QUOTE]
