Any suggestions for an extreme case of conduct disorder with ADHD??
Yes, this child has an IEP. He has been in BD for two years. This is my first teaching job... I'm fresh out of college. The parents are not helpful at all. They do not want to give medication or any type of outside service help. They believe that there is not a problem. I had him evaluated again because of his extreme behavior. I really want to help this child. I will try reading that book... The Explosive Child...
He is ten years old.
He shouts and yells at anything you ask him to do or just anything... He hits and kicks at desks and chairs... Throws his papers across the room... At times he has taken off his shoes and launched them at me... Thrown a couple of chairs... He has broken my window in my room...
He is on a detailed IEP and behavior plan but everything I try does not work... Right now I am using an incentive chart that he can earn points for things that he likes to do... Like line leader, reading to the 1st grades, clean the boards, and on Friday if he has enough points I have a box with special toys that I know he likes in it that he can have but I still get this aggressive and hostile behavior.
I only have two students in my room and a couple that have improved enough to stay in a regular class all day long..
I just do not know what else to try...
Wow! Thanks guys...
I will try breaking down the work. He is a really smart boy but he really has problems. He has been diagnosed with ADHD, conduct-mood disorder, and extreme depression. When I had him reevaluated, the MD, I guess he really threw a fit in the MD's office because he now has to go to the psychiatrist at Prestera once a month- mandatory. I have not got the formal report but she fax me some stuff- like he has zero authority or respect for women.
I know that he has a terrible home life. His mother left when he was like in 2nd grade because of domestic violence. (Any relation to the MD's comment above??) His grandparents are not together because of the same problems. He watches movies and plays video games that are not for a child of his age. (Halo, South Park, Beerfest...)
I know that I am young but I cannot believe what this child has been through and seen at his age. I just wish that his father would open his eyes to the situation.
I have been teaching out of the Behavioral Survival Guide and Ways To Tame Your Temper. And I try to talk to him about things... but... his child tells wild tall tales. Everything that comes out of this child's mouth is not true. I have called him out on it before and he really thinks his stories are true. It is scary.
I don't know....
