[QUOTE="buddy, post: 497732, member: 12886"] Hello and welcome, ..... YES you have found a soft place to come and talk about this stuff. sometimes our kids do have typical moments, but it is really insulting to hear someone tell you that ALL of this is a phase or if you would just do X or Y or Z then he would be better. No child wants to be that upset. Now that he is in school, many of the challenges he would never have had at home will happen, new directions, new routines, doing things that are new and maybe really hard. In addition to the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation, I would see about a neuropsychology evaluation and a sp/lang evaluation to see if he has any issues with understanding or processing language, any short term memory issues (for directions) and other issues like that. make sure the Occupational Therapist (OT) also checks for fine motor skills because there may be things that make it tough for him to do the work compared to other kids and it may seem subtle. Visual and auditory processing can be issues to pay attention to over time as well. Poor boy, sounds like he is really miserable at times. In school to help avoid the "kicking out" issue please put in writing that you want a complete developmental evaluation done on your son. You need to put this in writing and send it certified mail so you get a return receipt which will start a federal time clock. This makes it so that they can't just kick him out. There are rules and procedures. Once the date has started they must do an evaluation to look at all possible contributing factors. You will have input on which tests they use and if they dont propose enough, you can add (or you can remove) any. You can come here too to ask as the process unfolds. I will be looking forward to hearing how things are going for you . Welcome and glad to have you in this crazy corner of the parenting world. [/QUOTE]
