[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 622173, member: 3930"] Request a full initial evaluation from the school in writing. Send it certified mail. There is a sample letter in the archives, I believe. Basically you are requesting he be evaluated for special education services due to his diagnosis of ADHD and the issues he is having at school. What you are describing with him getting so upset about the student helper wanting to help someone else is [B]emotional control[/B] and is an area under [B]executive functioning[/B] which in my opinion is the umbrella disorder that ADHD falls under. Google those terms. Here is a good document I recently found (check out page 9): [url]http://www.jerichoschools.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_5887727/File/Special%20Education/ExecutiveFunctioning.pdf[/url] You need an IEP and the school needs to handle situations like the one you described in a way that will not escalate the behavior. Giving him a place and time to cool off, etc. Also, by calling you to come and pick him up, it actually reinforced his behavior meaning it will likely happen again if he wants to go home. [/QUOTE]
