[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 471761"] I can relate. My son (at 13) has gone through 3 schools in less than a year because of his aggression. My son IS on the autism spectrum (keep in mind it is a spectrum and not just "Rainman type) and we know that his anxiety level is the cause of the aggression. It took us a long time to figure that out. Then when we did, we found it was IMPOSSIBLE to get these school districts on board with things that worked. [U]Their[/U] rigidity was even worse that difficult child's. I am glad you are working with a behavior therapist but I would seriously consider having her evaluated by a child psychiatrist or, even better, a neuropsychologist so you can get an idea of what you are dealing with. I would also definitely get a thorough Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation done soon. Many kids have sensory issues that can cause some pretty severe behaviors at times. I would also suggest you request (in writing) that she be evaluated by the school system for Early Intervention Special Education services. This will get evaluations done and get things in place before she starts school that will carry over into the school. Your behavior therapist can be part of the team that will decide on how things should be done. Good luck and supportive {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}}. [/QUOTE]
