[QUOTE="rachelfran, post: 63908, member: 3955"] Thanks for all the welcomes.... My son just turned six ... He's recieved speech, Occupational Therapist (OT), PT & play therapy for two years during the school year... At the end of his kindergarten year the play therapist dropped that service - citing that he was fine in a small group of three - which is what the service was... His teachers told me he was fine with a small group but has a larger issue with big groups.. He needs his space and doesn't like other kids getting too close.. He was in inclusion for kindergarten which was great for him ... He had no real issues until the last couple of weeks of school when he got physical a couple of times and the teacher called me about it... Academically he's done great... though homework wasn't fun - he did it, generally and overall, excelled. He will continue in inclusion for 1st grade as the teachers suggested he has low self esteem so would benefit from the added adults on the room in the inclusion class... The mainstream 1st grade has up to 25 kids with only 1 teacher. Within the last few months we've noticed a huge increase in the amount of aggression shown toward myself, max's dad and his sister. He loses his temper easily and whenever he is told no - gets violent. Kicking, hitting, pinching, scratching - not uncommon. He also says some very nasty things - like - what will happen if i hit you with this (fill in with whatever is handy). Usually I just brush off the comments but they can be mean and scary - especially to an outsider. I've always been relieved that the worst of the aggression rears it's head at home and not in school but i don't know about 1st grade... I'm worried that as the work gets harder - he will get worse... There are no mental health issues in our family and no medications taken on a regular basis by anyone... Max is mildly asthmatic and will, occassionally use a nebulizer... but that's all. His other behavior - which could be something but has never been diagnosed - his is obsession with time... he is always asking how long things are or how many minutes are left until a particular time... If you don't know the answer - he gets angry and if your answer doesn't jive with what was said earlier - he'll call you on it and get angry.... That's all off the top of my head -- while I'm here at work so I can't go on and on but wanted to fill in some of the missing details... I really appreciate any and all suggestions ... Should I be calling a psychologist off of our mental health portion of our medical plan? thanks! Rachel [/QUOTE]
