[QUOTE="jodyp, post: 159916, member: 3905"] Thanks SnowAngel I will ask them about behavioral coaches. His present teacher fs studing to be certified in ABA and has been working well him him. I only hear good things about the teacher he will have this summer and next year. Art Therepy sounds good, but this kid lacks fine motor skills. And since he lacks these skills, he gets very fustrated with art projects. He is getting Occupational Therapist (OT), but I'm going to insist on another Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation and additional services. 5 years old and can't write his name. He doesn't even have hand dominance yet. Eventhough the difficult child has made great progress, he is so exhusting.....And we have 2 other kids! I'm uncomfortable with the ADHD diagnosis. I've read the criteria and I agree he has many of those traits, but there is still something else going on there and I'm afraid that we (parents and the school) are not addressing the problems. he repeats things, eats off the floor, (from dirt piles), picks his nose and eats it, has meltdowns, can't say goodbye, and talks about things that are flying around his brain. That often causes problems with peers because they don't know what he is talking about, (and either do I). But believe me, he has come a long way too.....He now wears different shirts (for 2 years would only wear white t-shirts), doesn't repeat sentences as much, can partially dress himself, makes his bed, and has made great strides in explaining his feelings. oh.....it's tough having a child with needs. I read this board and I say to myself I should be thankful, he is not that bad. But the reality is, is that he brings down the family and prevents us from doing some activities. At times I resent it. Just airing............. Thanks for listening Jody [/QUOTE]
