[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 7637, member: 805"] All the posters have given you some great advice and Sheila has given you great links to help you navigate the advocacy for your son in regards to school. I hear voices from the past in your post. When my difficult child began his "dark period" in second grade (the same age as your son actually), his teacher said "he's just doing it for attention". It took a good therapist, a good psychiatrist, educating myself to my son's educational rights, to begin to make a difference. And a difference it has definately made! To kinda nutshell the IEP stuff - if anything, behavior or cognative abilities, etc., affect your child' ability to learn, he is eligible for IEP (or a 504 at the very least). Keep researching, keep on top of the school. Use the time during the holiday break to spend time with your son and talk to him during quiet times. Frustration with school work or social situations can lead our kids to rage. Sometimes listening in the quiet times when they feel no pressure or anxiety can clue us in to what is going on inside. You will be able to make a difference. Arm yourself with knowledge Sharon [/QUOTE]
