[quote=Anonymous]OP, my heart breaks for you and your son. Without knowing the full details of the case I would consider as one PP to immediately take him off the Adderall which can increase aggressive behavior and starting an anti-depressant given that his therapist seems to think the behaviors stem from anxiety. If you haven't already I would hire a behavior therapist to do a really good FBA and I would actually pay this therapist to sit in class for a full two or three days to really get a sense of what is going on and what the school has already tried to get a handle on the situations. What is in his IEP already? What's in their BIP? For schooling, I would seek private placement and my vote would be for Ivymount with the hope of getting him out of there in a few years if he gets better and I would be hopeful a child that smart would improve in the right environment. There are no good special ed centers for a child that bright in FCPS IMO. [/quote]
