[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 64530, member: 3199"] Thanks for the responses. My line in the sand is aggression, medications, and eating. He can't be aggressive and he has to take his medications. Plus he gets things taken away for not eating. I tell him its his choice, but he can't watch t.v./play gameboy without eating dinner first. Sometimes he chooses to not eat; most times he chooses to eat. We've been watching a lot of t.v. and playing a lot of gameboy to keep difficult child 1 calm. And, he still does aggressive stuff. We have a reward system in place, but mostly use it for positive reinforcement and relationship building. The behavior program over the summers reward system is the first one that has made even a small change in his behavior. I think its made an impact because they spend hours each day on how to behave, peer pressure from the other kids (they also use group rewards), and constant reminders to be good. This program isn't with the school. Its with the state mental health program. He doesn't exibhit enough behaviors at school and his testing doesn't show he has a learning problem. So, I've been told he doesn't qualify for sp. ed. Its just a matter of time though before his behaviors start exhibiting at school as well. I've got an appointment with his new teacher tommorrow. The psychiatrist just changed his medications. The psychiatrist is going to want to give it a bit before changing again. Is Risperdal supposed to be fast acting though? [/QUOTE]
