[QUOTE="2much4me, post: 308243, member: 8076"] I have been where you are, my difficult child was diagnosed at 4, and I had the constant battle with the school. Everytime there was a problem they would suspend him for 2 to 3 days, which to a 5 year old is a treat to have that extra time with mommy. Check the Americans With Disabilities Act, your child more than likely qualifies for modifications at school. My son qualifies which means that the school can not suspend him for actions that are related to his disability. My sons school is very cooperative and has provided him a "cooling down area" so that he can regroup and refocus after an episode without suspension. Notify the school of his medications, and when he sees the dr, the teachers can provide alot of insight as to triggers for episodes, and also if they are at specific times it can really help his dr. We have noted my son has his meltdowns at a certain time during the day, so now we are trying to adjust the medications since they seem to "lapse" at that time of day. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
