[QUOTE="Fran, post: 6613, member: 3"] Hi Nyla's mom and welcome. The faq/board help forum has all the acronymns and info to navigate the site. I'm sure you noticed that your child's behavior is way out of line compared to her peers. How was she as an infant? Did she do all the developmental steps according to average charts(crawl, walk, talk etc) Anything different that you remembered about her? How does she do outside of school? Does she do any extracurricular activities? Is she physical to baby brother? Any academic weaknesses, forgetful, unorganized? Any family history of behavior problems, substance abuse or suicide attempts in the family? We have questions more than answers right now but it's obvious the schools are grasping at straws and does not have a realistic plan for your child. Have you requested an IEP? It's probably time to have her evaluated by more than a psychologist or even a psychiatrist. I would look at the local university based Children's hospital for either a behavior disorder clinic or a specialist (ex. developmental pediatrician) I had a team evaluation where all the specialties evaluated difficult child at the same time. Once you have a clearer picture of what is going on then you can sit down to do research as to what the best plan is for your child. As most of us will suggest the book, The Explosive Child(found in the faq/board help forum) has been a huge help to many parents in helping us to deal with our kids. It is so difficult when you think you are battling difficult child and the school district and family and your job when all of those should be a support and a help. You aren't alone anymore. [/QUOTE]
