[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 25702, member: 3211"] I hesitate to post because this child sounds much like my son. He has often been physically agressive with school staff and completely out of control. He has often said he was done raging - and done a very convincing job at appearing that he was done raging - only to be let out of a restraint to kick at a staff member or throw a chair or something equally as horrible. He was often the catalyst for the clearing of a classroom. It brings back multiple visual memories for me. I commend you for attempting to work so hard to help your student, despite the obvious hurdles you are facing. Our son's teachers, too, for the most part have really tried to work with us and with him, which has been nice. He is also of above-average intelligence with no academic problems and can be very sweet, funny, caring, etc. We thank God for his good qualities, which we have to remind ourselves of during the particularly bad times. I agree with Marg that your student's mother is probably in a state of denial at some stage. I've been there. It's nice there (hee hee) but not very realistic. I have signed an authorization so our difficult child's teachers can talk to the psychiatrists and vice versa. That would be a great step, if you can manage to get the mom to agree. We don't have any special schools in our area that could cater to difficult children, so our son is currently in a collaborative day program that our school pays for and buses difficult child to. The contained classroom was still a bit too much for him to handle this past fall and we are not sure when he will be able to go back. He, too, is facing middle school next year and I am afraid for him as he will be in a new school setting with staff who does not know him. I think you have been given lots of great advice by those who have posted before me. Again, I commend you for seeking out additional information and help. And, I wish you the best of luck at reaching this difficult child and helping him for the future. [/QUOTE]
