[QUOTE="buddy, post: 500582, member: 12886"] How old is he? If he has emotional issues, sure this could be the right place... But my son (much different kid than yours and so not trying to compare that way..BUT....) would do terrible at this kind of school for the very reason you stated. He lives up to the worst of the worst.... for mine it would not be anger, but the imitating of behaviors... for his neurological issues a placement in an emotional and behavioral program would be disaster (and we have tried long term when young and he had to go to a hospital for short term medication care) I think for you a logical next step is to do a neuropsychologist evaluation. Get all the information that you can about what is driving the adhd.... Is it really adhd only or is it other issues, really if there are one or two even... like a motor issue or a processing issue... this could be huge! Is there any online schooling in your state? Would you consider that until you get this sorted out? It is not homeschooling in that you dont have to come up with the assignments, do the teaching etc... but he would do it at home. I think a multi state program is called k-12 or something like that... you click on your state to get the info for your particular state... there may be others here who can help with that..... or do a web search.
