[QUOTE="Martie, post: 11858, member: 284"] Debbie, If he can't get there in the A.M. you can ask for a later start time. It is usually done for depressed adolescents, however. You could also try to reduce the stress of homework if that is a battle--you don't say it is--but for some kids, it does not make for a relaxing evening, which makes it harder for them to fall asleep. Is he receiving therapy in school? School anxiety is a problem that can stand apart from other anxiety issues. I finally figured out that ex-difficult child had BOTH school and non-school related anxiety issues. It was much more efficient for the school therapist (who I might add was good--not all are) to deal with those issues arising from school rather than try to have the outside therapist (not the psychiatrist--the therapist) run interference. If they say, "we don't do that," then they are failing to provide "related services" and denying your difficult child a FAPE. Good luck tomorrow--don't go alone and don't sign anything you don't understand. Say you want to take it home and think about it. Martie [/QUOTE]
