i was talking to my easy child's former dance aid who is a student teacher is k-garten class. she was told that it is district policy not to test this age group even if the teachers suspect emotional impairment. :censored:? sorry but that is exactly why my difficult child didn't get anything more than the school...

well they are going to set up a countywide program for early elem students with-ei issues. this school is 1/2 away so as much as i think the program will be great for difficult child the possible 1 hr bus ride will be an issue seeing that i have to pick him up from school now(5 mins away). so my ? for all of...

besides Tourette's Syndrome whatelse can cause tics? difficult child will have times where he shakes his hands and arms, wipe his face and shake off his hands or he will twitch his shoulders and head. now the face/hand thing started before he started the trileptal so i don't think it is medication related. at first difficult child said...

in a class or school with-a violent difficult child what would be your expectations? difficult child's recent move out of another classroom was based more on a concern for others safety and not on what was best for him. i know he needs a smaller class with-less sensory distractions and i thought that was the reason for...

some said they don't tell cuz it is no ones business and to an extent ita. but don't you feel that the more it is talked about as a whole and some of the stigma of mental health was lessened that more might be done to help our difficult children? we are like an underground society that you don't know you...

well 2nd opinion is also bipolar. the psychiatrist is leaning towards mild Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) but difficult child doesn't fit the social/affectionate part of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). she thinks maybe Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) but sensory issues ebb and flow(like the BiPolar (BP)). she also sees some adhd and that might explain why some meltdowns he remembers and some he doesn't...
