[QUOTE="knicole, post: 391794"] My son is on seroquel xr, lexapro and guanfacine. No prn. He was doing really well, until the end of last school year. Then this school year, has been hell. Today, he had a 2 hour long (2 hrs from he time I arrived) meltdown amd security was called due to his physical aggression. He was kicking, spitting at, smacking and biting anyone who came close enough. They were about 5 minutes from taking him to the hospital, but I had my husband come up to the school and assist with getting him home. He is now out of school until we can have yet another meeting. Im guessing that change of placement is not an option now, but will be required. He did have a neuro-psyc evaluation about 3 years ago. His findings were ODD, and ADHD. He also suspected a mood disorder. Some of his assigments are modified whereas he gets to pick 3 or 4 problems to do on a math sheet. but the teacher has been trying to stay on point with the 5th grade cirriculum, so I think thats just entirely too much for him. He currently goes to therapy 1x every 2wks to do an anger management type program. He also gets home based social skills therapy. As far aas the behaviors go, they usually start with just defiance or argueing. Then itr turns to verbal aggression. Then it will escalate to physical aggression or destruction of property. Usually there are certain levels, and you can calm him down and redirect him until a certain point but once he reaches a certain level, there is no bringing him down.I just really have no clue what to do anymore. Do I let them take him to the hospital next time?? Do I keep fighting them not to? I am just vsuper overwhelmed right now [/QUOTE]
