[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 6517, member: 1722"] Welcome. Your son sounds an awful lot like my Duckie at that age. Take a two-pronged approach for the evaluation: private and school-based. First go through your pediatrician and ask to get an appointment set up with a multidisciplinary team. Go through your county zero to three program if you don't have insurance. You want him evaluated for speech, gross & fine motor skills, social skills, psychological, intelligence, hearing, sight as well as a full medical physical. Second, send a certified letter to your school district requesting a full & complete evaluation (encompassing everything but the physical listed above). Do everything you can to get a complete family history between now and the appts. Write a up a medical/developmental history (start now!) of your son to give to each set of evaluators. See the FAQ's of the site on what to include in the parent report. I think I would be spending my time right now trying to figure out what the underlying issues are and what triggers his outbursts. Is he angry or overwhelmed or frustrated? Does he cringe at loud noises, seek lots of physical attention or refuse certain textures of clothing/foods? Does he seek limits or refuse limits? Does he seek to control situations or react to situations? Is there an underlying issue contributing to his well being (such as Dad in prison, financial hardship, sleep problems?). You are right, you aren't alone anymore. [/QUOTE]
