[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 608478, member: 13003"] Sure... but how is he with PEERS? Kids with social skills deficits can still get along fine, often, with adults... or with kids much younger or older than themselves. But peer relationship challenges are a major red flag. How many REAL friends does he have? Not the kids names he rattles off if you ask who his friends are, but... does he go to a peer's house to play, and is this an on-going relationship? Is there someone in his class that will stick up for him? If not... he probably has challenges that you don't see. Does he get bullied? Being bullied brings it's own problems, but... often, kids with challenges end up being bullied more often than not. What else changes at your house between the "before homework meltdown" and the "after meltdown homework"? Such as... does the house suddenly get more quiet? If so... he may be dealing with some form of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorder). Two forms of this get missed more often than "classic" Auditory Processing Disorders (APD): auditory discrimination, and auditory figure ground. The first is difficulty distinguishing subtle differences in sounds. The second is difficulty filtering out background noise in order to really HEAR what is important. Both cause major problems in the classroom... and/or at home, if the home is not conducive to quietness for communication (i.e. turn of ALL sound-generating electronics and electrics... yes, including the fan and the kettle... and even running water!).
