[QUOTE="nvts, post: 463284, member: 3814"] Hi! I agree with getting all of the testing done that has been suggested - Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a possibility, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, Sensory Integration Issues could be a biggee which usually couples with many other things. The fact remains that they're only suggestions - not diagnosis'. Naturally people will make suggestions based on what they've witnessed and dealt with...I myself would never consider speaking about something that I didn't personally experience with my own or other closely worked with kids. HOWEVER: these suggestions help you to go in a certain direction for research and consideration. It's not about people going with what they know - it's about reaching out and offering a helping hand. Now: What I can suggest FACTUALLY (lol!) is that you put something in writing requesting a formal evaluation for an IEP (Individual Education Plan) for your son. This will force the school to operate with your son effectively and appropriately. DO NOT LET THEM CLASSIFY HIM AS EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED. Other health impaired if you suspect ADHD or Autism if it's been diagnosed. You also need to ask for a FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment - which is what I think the school psychiatric is going to do - but make sure that you request it in writing anyway) so that a BIP (Behavioral Intervention Plan) can be developed. The BIP is cool because when done right, it'll be put together with the school and your input on redirection, triggers, rewards, etc. Eventually, the phone calls will lessen because they will have a written document to refer back to. In the meantime, see if they'll do a 504 health paraprofessional to be assigned. This can be done with a doctors note quoting suspected ADHD that will help redirect him. Glad you're now part of the group...for Education, I'd pop over to the Spec. Ed. forum - those ladies know their stuff! Beth [/QUOTE]
