[QUOTE="Fran, post: 380615, member: 3"] Hi danablue, sounds like your son is no joy to live with. A thorough evaluation by a liscensed clinical psychologist would be my first step. I agree that the school adm. isn't qualified to suggest or not suggest medications. This is not her specialty. A psychiatrist who specializes in adolescent psychiatry would also be part of the evaluation process if it were me. I'm not hearing symptoms that can be treated with medications. He seems to need a more structured environment in which to spend his adolescent years. Have you thought about an alternative school placement? It's not cheap but it may be something to keep in the back of your mind. Tell us more about him. When did you see his challenging behavior begin? What have you tried so far? [/QUOTE]
