[QUOTE="Star*, post: 277458, member: 4964"] Amber sue - If you can use it - take it. You know something? In Dudes IEP we wrote in that he was in self-containted classes AND had a shadow that our family met with personally and told him triggers, and signs to look for in aggitation etc. Our shadow wasn't very good - and had the wrong ideas about a lot of things and we find out later he had NO experience with ED kids - BUT there were a few times that his presence and ability to take Dude and say "come on man - lets go for a walk." and walk outside the school was VERY helpful. It calmed Dude down, distracted him and was an integral part of his EIP and BIP. When you go - KNOW THIS - you can ask for and have it paid for by the school district - a shadow. And NO sped teacher is going to refuse it. They tried with Dude to put him in mainstream classes but the noise and chatter, and movement were way too much for him. He made straight A's in the self-contained class and even got picked several times to go to the Learning Disability (LD) class and help the more severely disabled kids and LOVED it. -Never hurts to ask for free help - and it could just be the thing to have a big brother type person to help him????? Just a thought. Best of luck Glad your letter worked...... And start a file - a daily log of your sons behaviors with medications and take that to your psychiatrist/therapist - that diary will be INVALUABLE as a tool to help your sons doctor see triggers and patterns that you and I can't. I'd do a summation each week for Dudes therapist and it was very much appreciated - AND of course, my kid stressed us out so much that I'd forget my name if I didn't have a nametag..lol.....so things I may have forgotten because BIGGER and worse behaviors came along were written down. Also - ugh....(sorry) if he is a true ADHDer - NOISE cancelling headphones while he's working in class can be phenominal tools.......and /or an Ipod or headphones with music. Most ADHDers I know do better in class if they can listen to music while they study....they can hyperfocus on the music and block out the 100 other things they hear. Hugs [/QUOTE]
