[quote=Anonymous]I would suggest considering a day hospital program including a full neuropsychological assessment. A step down from that would be getting a psychiatric assessment and perhaps an assessment by the school social worker to see if everyone can get a sense of what’s changed over the last year. It could be that he has undiagnosed issues that the relatively more demanding first grade classroom environment has somehow activated. If you’re someone he trusts, have you asked him about what’s changed (without his mother present?) This doesn’t have to be an issue of “forcing “ him, but chatting while you draw or do some other activity that he likes. Can you identify anything else that’s changed in his life during the last year or so? Stressor #4 sounds like a big deal in and of itself. At minimum, impulse control disorders and ADHD should be assessed and ruled out, and I’m guessing that the school IEP team can’t really fully address that on their own. [/quote]
