[quote=Anonymous]My DS with ASD/ADHD but no anxiety issues went through something similar in 2nd grade.  Similar because he also had behavioral issues + being off task like 100% of the time when the developmental pediatrician observed him at school.

What worked for us was a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and a behavioral intervention plan (BIP).  It's basically a schedule of what DS has to complete in a school day.  He meets with his SN teacher in the morning, goes over the schedule, picks out a prize if he meets the goal, brings back the schedule checklist home to show us.  He was getting 100% within a week since this was implemented.  He is now in 3rd grade and the school still uses it.  DS is a model student and a leader now.

DS had a choice not to use the BIP in 3rd grade but asked for it after two weeks.  It makes his day very predictable and he really likes it.  The school tried the FBA\BIP before he started on ADHD meds and while it wasn't as 100% effective, it was around 90%.

Good luck![/quote]
