[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 492545"] You have come to the right place Zaftigmama. I am really sorry things are such that you had to find us. I can relate. difficult child 1 was almost kicked out of kindergarten and sent beack to preschool. Last spring, the school did everything they could to kick difficult child 1 out of the school district. We are now doing an online school from home. It has worked great for both my kids (difficult child 2 CHOSE to switch because he wasn't being accelerated & challenged enough). The nice thing for difficult child 1 is that we can take as many sensory breaks as he needs whenever he needs them. As long as we cover the subjects and put in 30 hours a week, all is good with the world. difficult child 1 can be explosive and angry at the drop of a hat, especially regarding school work. Our Occupational Therapist (OT) found issues beyond just sensory. difficult child 1's brain doesn't process black letters on white paper very well. His brain doesn't tell him when the pencil is on the paper so he writes way too hard causing his hand to hurt when he writes. These are the two biggest hurdles that really affected his school work. Too bad the school Occupational Therapist (OT) didn't see ANY issues at all. A THOROUGH reading evaluation revealed that difficult child 1 struggles greatly with comprehension, inferring, and summarizing. We are starting a thorough language processing evaluation now. Now for questions. Does Brownie take any medications? Have you seen a neuropsychologist or Child Psychiatrist? If not, that is where I would start to get to the REAL bottom of the problem(s). Are there any mental health issues on either side of the family (diagnosed or just suspected)? How was his overall development? Did he meet milestones on time? Have you had an outside Occupational Therapist (OT) or Speech evaluation? Sorry for bombarding you but the more information we have the better we are able to help appropriately. Again, welcome.
