[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get him a full evaluation by a developmental pediatrician or child psychologist and not just an evaluation for gross and fine motor issues which will be done by an OT.  You need to know what the problem is first before you can address it.  The anger issue can be from anxiety, ADHD, etc or nothing - the preschool can just be a bad fit but you won't know until you get a full evaluation.

Good luck![/quote]

While a full evaluation is a good idea, it could take up to 6 months to even get the appointment.  You know what the behavior is so you can and should address it now.  Regardless of what the evaluation shows, you're still going to have to experiment with several different wants to address the aggression, so that can start now with a visit to a child psychologist.

Also - since this is new behavior and a new school, you do have to consider whether or not it is something about the classroom that is causing the behavior.  One thing you can do is get a psychologist to do a classroom observation.  [/quote]
