[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 21639, member: 1169"] Tigger has an IEP. He is in a self-contained room most of the day. He is scheduled to have gym, lunch, recess and one class per day in the regular room but if he can't maintain he gets to stay in the Special Education room. He has a 1:1 aide and there are only 4 students in his room (and one of the others also has a 1:1). The staff at his school is great. They constantly reassure me that he is a great kid and that despite him injuring several of them, they all love to work with him because he is such a sweet loving child most of the time that it is easier to see his outbursts as illness because they are so out of character. He is definitely school phobic, he has huge separation anxiety. I ended up letting him play his video game because he was so worked up it is the only thing that can bring him back to earth. After 45 minutes he was able to come sit on my lap and tell me that he was scared that I was going to disappear if he went to school [img]:frown:[/img] We are getting him off of the Strattera. This increase in aggressive school avoidance has definitely peaked and we are at 3 months on this dose of Strattera which seems to be a side-effect window. I hate that he is so frightened. [/QUOTE]
