[quote=Anonymous]Have you considered adjusting his meds? If he is still having "tons of really poor behavior and impulse control issues" then it seems you could either try a different medication or increasing the dose slightly. I'm assuming the teacher has things like a success chart in place already? I would also consider behavioral therapy outside of school, and see if your school has any sort of lunch bunch/friendships group he could take part in. But the meds really should be working better. We've found that if the dosage is even the slightest bit too low, we see no improvement. It's almost like you need to get past a particular threshold for them to kick in. For us, it is 15 mg Focalin XR. 10 mg doesn't cut it, but 15 does the trick.[/quote]
