[QUOTE="teacherma, post: 459959, member: 12792"] Thank you for your response. The principal now was the asst. principal for the last 3 years, and he trusts her implicitly. She was able to get him calm enough the first 2 days of school so that he could go on to class around 9am. The meltdown still took about an hour, but he was able to get over it. Since she has other duties (which, as a teacher myself, I totally understand), his care has fallen to a new asst. principal who was overheard on the 2nd day of school stating that my son was just being defiant, and the counselor--neither of whom does The Boy trust at this point. It has been in their 'care' that the meltdowns have lasted for 4 hours, and he never did make it to class those 2 days. The fix may be as simple as having other people work with him, but so far they have been unwilling to really give that a lot of thought. And, since this has happened only 1 more time since the beginning of school in August (along with the first 4 days), I was passive enough to let it go. On top of all that, I really want to get down to why the meltdowns are occurring with more frequency and intensity and fix the problem from that end, so I'm hoping the psychiatrist has suggestions when we see her next week. We are on a modified year-round schedule, so after this coming week, we're off a week, and we're hoping to do a medication add-on then. [/QUOTE]
