[QUOTE="SRL, post: 33268, member: 701"] Hi Eleanor, I'm a parent of a Hyperlexic child as well. Has the school been using written language intervention strategies to address behavioral issues in the form of lists of rules, social stories, etc? When he starts to escalate are the teachers pulling out a white board and dialogueing with him or are they carrying on verbal dialogue? A few other thoughts for your consideration-- Many of us have had good results with Ross Greene's book "The Explosive Child" so check into that if you haven't already. If you feel that setting and intervention strategies are all appropriate it is usually worthwhile having an assessment done by a pediatric neurologist. Sometimes there are issues such as seizure activity or sleep problems lurking that are contributing to the behavioral problems. Finally--and I mention this as a possibility--have you trialed any medications? My difficult child did not get along well to the two we trialed due to side effects but we've had some kids through here who have used medications very successfully. [/QUOTE]
