[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 96196"] We were told our son had bipolar not otherwise specified, ODD. He was taking Lamictal for several years and really worked well for a mood stabalizer. He recently went off medication after three years and is doing well. The scariest thing for us and for school was how he could be fine one second and lose it the next. Seemed like we were walking on egg shells all the time. Does he have an IEP? Several things that have really helped him this year is: How he is approached. Instead of telling him how to do something, Ask him how to do it. cool off pass. Uses this and seeks out certain people, counselor, principal, program director, aide..they talk and when he is settled down he can rejoin the class. he uses this when frustration and anxiety start building. This teaches him to recognize the signs, keeps outbursts out of the classroom and gives him the opportunity to re-group. extended time out - For an extremely bad day, I can remove him from the school setting, take him home, or where ever and when he is ready return him to school. This keeps him out of detention, in school suspension and out of school suspension. Use of computer, has helped him with is writing assignments. All of his assignments except math is done on the computer. I can really see the accomplishments he has made recognizing when frustration is building. Most of the time he knows when to walk away and breathe. best of luck to you [/QUOTE]
