[QUOTE="jal, post: 330924, member: 3477"] Did the behaviors start after the Adderall was introduced? The first time my son destroyed a classroom was after he was put on Metadate (a stimulant for ADHD). You mention having a BIP in place. Does your child have a full IEP? Any one on one support in the classroom? My child was a lot like this in that he learned at a very early age if he behaved badly enough he'd get to go home from daycare. We took away things too, or had him spend the rest of the day in his room, not doing fun stuff. My difficult child made it through kindergarten which is only a 1/2 day where we live. He had an IEP, a para and BIP. When he got to 1st grade it was obvious he couldn't handle it, he became very explosive. We made the move to place him out of district in a small therapeutic program which the SD pays for, including to and from private transportation. My difficult child doesn't have any Learning Disability (LD)'s, but the smaller environment coupled with a para and the support with in the program have helped him quite a bit. He is rarely explosive at school now, it's more impulse based, but he is on track if not ahead of his grade level. He is the youngest in his class. It was a heartbreaking decision for us to make, but I am glad that we did and one that has proven to be very good for him. We keep him involved in local sports so that he sees the kids he used to go to school with throughout the year. Are you sure the psychiatric hospital did testing? When our difficult child was in the psychiatric hospital we were told they really don't do testing when they are in there anymore, because the kids aren't stable enough to test accurately. If the school is pushing you for neuro testing (if it hasn't been done by the psychiatric hospital), I would definately take them up on it, but they should be footing the bill, not you. I am sorry you are going through this. I have been right there. [/QUOTE]
